Rövid leírás:

This volume provides cutting-edge research from malaria parasitology and records the success story of disease control in China. The country, which was certified malaria-free by the World Health Organization in 2021, looks back on 70 years of effort and fruitful combat history.

Expert authors supply insights from Plasmodium morphology to the clinical picture of malaria, molecular and immunodiagnosis, as well as current treatment and resistance issues, making this book a valuable blueprint for further success stories. The present work makes a significant contribution to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, Good Health and Well-Being, with the aim to end malaria epidemics by 2030. Practical details of malaria elimination tools and strategies are completed by chapters on artificial intelligence in diagnosis and also traditional Chinese medicines for therapy.

All researchers involved in malaria control and elimination around the globe will benefit from the knowledge presented, including students, scientists, policy makers at various levels, and professionals in healthcare and antiparasitic drug discovery.
