Malaria is one of the most widespread infectious diseases worldwide. It is caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Each year, malaria infects several hundred million people and is responsible for several million deaths, making it a major global health challenge and a complex disease to treat.The present book, entitled, "Chemotherapeutic Antimalarial Agents" is organized into the three sections. The first section provides a general introduction to malaria, including the life cycle of the parasite and the development of resistance to antimalarial drugs. The second section focuses on the chemotherapeutic agents currently used for the treatment and prophylaxis of malaria, while the third section discusses experimental and emerging antimalarial agents.This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in pursuing work on the development of novel medicinally active antimalarial agent.
