Malaria is a major global health issue. Drugs are a key weapon against the disease, but resistance eventually emerges and spreads, rendering a succession of drugs useless. We have preliminary evidence that resistance to a safe and cheap drug is unable to spread. We believe drug resistant parasites die when attempting to transmit from person to person via the mosquito vector. Inability to spread resistance would make this drug extremely valuable in the fight against malaria.

疟疾是一个重大的全球卫生问题。药物是对抗这种疾病的关键武器，但耐药性最终会出现并传播，使一连串的药物失效。我们有初步证据表明，对安全而廉价的药物的抗药性无法传播。我们认为，抗药性寄生虫在试图通过蚊子媒介在人与人之间传播时会死亡。无法传播耐药性将使这种药物在抗击疟疾方面具有极其重要的价值。
