Abstract

The battle between man and malaria has continued for thousands of years. Antimalarial drugs are essential weapons to fight the disease, but their efficacy is threatened by drug resistance which continues to emerge creating a major obstacle to malaria control and jeopardizing renewed hopes for elimination. As 2016 is the first year under WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030, it is a good time to ponder the progress of both sides and plan for the future.

Keywords: Antimalarial drug resistance; Artemisinin; Chloroquine; Malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; Southeast Asia
