Despite the remarkable activity of artemisinin and its derivatives their monotherapy has been associated with high rates of recrudescence. The temporary growth arrest of ring stage parasites (dormancy) following exposure to artemisinin drugs provides a plausible explanation for this phenomenon. Ring stage parasites of several P. falciparum lines were exposed to different doses of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) alone or in combination with mefloquine (MQ). For each regime the proportion of parasites recovering was determined daily for 20 days. Parasite development was abruptly arrested following a single exposure to DHA, with some parasites being dormant for up to 20 days. Approximately 50% of dormant parasites recovered to resume growth within the first 9 days. The overall proportion of parasites recovering was dose dependant with recovery rates ranging from 0.044% to 1.313%. Repeated treatment with DHA, or DHA in combination with MQ, led to a delay in recovery and a ~10 fold reduction in total recovery. Strains with different genetic backgrounds appear to vary in their capacity to recover. These results imply that artemisinin-induced growth arrest occurs readily in laboratory treated parasites, and may be a key factor in treatment failure of P. falciparum malaria.
