Genetic and genomic approaches for the discovery of parasite genes involved in antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]
The biggest threat to the war on malaria is the continued evolution of drug resistance by the parasite. Resistance to almost all currently available antimalarials now exists in Plasmodium falciparum which causes the most suffering among all human malaria
