Scientists design new drug to fight malaria

In 2022, nearly 619,000 global deaths due to malaria were caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent, prevalent, and deadly human malaria parasite. For decades, the parasite's resistance to all antimalarial drugs has posed a big challenge for researchers working to stop the spread of the disease.

A team led by scientists at UC Riverside, UC Irvine, and Yale School of Medicine has now designed a new drug against malaria and identified its mechanism of action.
