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 in malaria. The book is organized into two parts. Part I examines diagnostics and biomarkers in falciparum malaria. Topics include exploration of potential biomarkers and their applications, molecular diagnostic tools, and multi-omic approaches for the characterization of therapeutic action of potential new antimalarials. Part II explores therapeutic advances in falciparum malaria. This section covers antimalarial drugs, targeting parasite apicoplast for antimalarial drug discovery, cellular and adjunctive therapies for malaria treatment, and future opportunities in malaria diagnostic and treatment. With contributions from experts in the field, Falciparum Malaria: Diagnostic Tools, Therapeutic Advances, and Future Opportunities is a resource for academics, researchers, graduates and industry engaged in malaria research, its diagnosis, and treatment.
