Does finite slowing of feeding cause artemisinin resistance in malaria?
Objectives
To investigate if finite slowing of feeding cause artemisinin resistance in malaria.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Drug resistance to the frontline antimalarial artemisinin is a major challenge to addressing the global burden of malaria. Deteriorating artemisinin resistance could lead to this drug becoming unusable, or could be manageable if drug resistance doesn’t worsen and spread. The mechanism that underlies resistance has been determined and this study will test whether this is a finite and manageable process or instead is an escalating system that likely presages worsening prospects for global artemisinin use.
