Artemisinin is the main component of the current antimalarial treatments recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Resistance to artemisinin is not new and has been reported in South-East Asia for more than a decade. Scientists have been monitoring the geographical distribution of artemisinin resistance since 2014, but they only recently observed a drug-resistant strain of the malaria parasite in Africa.<\/p>\n

The research is available at Nature Medicine<\/a>. Scientists analysed blood samples from patients in Rwanda and found a mutation of the parasite, resistant to artemisinin, in 7.4% of patients at one of the health centres they monitored. The findings represent a setback to the progress in the fight against malaria so far. In 2018, African countries reported 93% of the malaria cases worldwide (WHO<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As malaria is getting harder to treat, innovation and new tools are crucial. Gene drive mosquitoes are one of the potential new tools under research. They could become a more cost-effective, sustainable and long-term solution, complementing existing methods to fight malaria. Hopefully, they will also be part of the global anti-malaria effort in the future.<\/p>\n
