Researchers Identify 'Drug Resistant' Malaria-Causing Parasites
An international team of researchers has discovered a way to identify malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum parasites, at a molecular level, that are resistant to artemisinin. This is the key drug for treating this disease. The research team included scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health.
