New drugs for malaria prevention

世界卫生组织估计，2013年约有1.89亿临床病例和584,000例与疟疾相关的死亡。这相当于每天约有1600名儿童死亡。没有获得许可的疟疾疫苗，所有可用的药物都与耐药寄生虫有关。这个巨大的健康问题促使人们寻找新的治疗方法。我们通过确定新的疟疾预防候选药物来解决这一问题，以独特的行动方式治疗药物，以克服寄生虫耐药性问题。

The WHO estimates there were ~189 million clinical cases & 584,000 malaria-related deaths in 2013. This translates to ~1,600 child deaths daily. There is no licensed malaria vaccine & all available drugs are associated with resistant parasites. This enormous health issue is driving the search for new therapies. We address this issue by identifying new drug candidates for malaria prevention, with unique modes of action to treatment drugs in order to overcome issues of parasite drug resistance.
