Juntendo University Research: Malaria in Africa is Developing Resistance to Drugs

星期一, 四月 23, 2018

The emergence of drug resistance is one of the main threats in the global fight against malaria.

Key Points: 
  • The emergence of drug resistance is one of the main threats in the global fight against malaria.
  • Importantly, since 90% of malaria cases exist in Africa, the development of resistance to aremisinin-the major drug used to treat malaria-in this region would have profound consequences for global strategies to combat malaria.
  • The main reason why malaria incidence and deaths are decreasing is the deployment of combination therapies based on a drug called artemisinin.
  • However, parasites can develop resistance to artemisinin, as was reported starting in 2007-2008, and resistance is known to be spreading in Southeast Asia.
