Falciparum Malaria: Diagnostic Tools, Therapeutic Advances, and Future Opportunities discusses the current state of therapeutic options for malaria, antimalarial drugs and drug targets. The book also covers recent progress in the development of vaccines and other approaches for malaria treatment, prevention and control and explores diagnostic tools and biomarkers. Sections examine potential biomarkers and their applications, molecular diagnostic tools, multi-omic approaches for the characterization of therapeutic action of potential new antimalarials, therapeutic advances in falciparum malaria, antimalarial drugs, targeting parasite apicoplast for antimalarial drug discovery, cellular and adjunctive therapies for malaria treatment, and future opportunities.
With contributions from experts in the field, this book is an ideal resource for academics, researchers, graduates and industry engaged in malaria research, its diagnosis, and treatment.
