Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today’s greatest challenge in the control and management of malaria is the emergence and spread of artemisinin resistance, manifesting in delayed parasite clearance after therapy, as observed in the Greater Mekong sub-region in South-East Asia, and more recently in Rwanda and Uganda. This is the major reason behind the urgent need to achieve the development of new combinations of antimalarial drugs with new mechanisms of action.
This Special Issue aims to establish the state of the art in malaria drug resistance and the current portfolios of antimalarial drug research and development and access.
