Can we build a genetic trap for drug resistant malaria parasites?
Objectives
This project proposes to identify more resistance-proof drugs that can be used in combination with other drugs to better manage the spread of resistance and better control disease.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Malaria is a major global health issue. Drugs are key weapons against malaria, but resistance typically emerges and spreads, rendering a succession of drugs useless. A safe and cheap drug for which the spread of resistance is severely constrained has been recently identified.
