Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Malaria remains a serious global health challenge, affecting millions of lives each year. To address this urgent issue, we present a Special Issue dedicated to "New Insights into Mechanisms and Therapeutics for Malaria."
Despite significant progress, the battle against malaria is far from over. The emergence of drug resistance, the complex biology of the malaria parasite and the limited portfolio of drugs available to treat malaria urge for alternative perspectives and innovative solutions.
This Special Issue focuses on providing a platform for the two types of research approach, clinical and laboratory research, offering a deep dive into the mechanisms driving malaria drug resistance, the mode of action of drugs and novel therapeutic approaches.
We aim to bring a collection of articles by experts from around the world, inspiring researchers and policymakers to explore new avenues in diagnostics, treatment, and prevention. By sharing these insights, we aspire to help accelerate the development of more effective therapies and ultimately contribute to efforts to achieve global malaria eradication.
Dr. Maria Isabel Veiga
