Storyline


Nobel Laureate Tu Youyou announced on Monday that her team has proposed solutions to the problem of artemisinin resistance, giving new proof that artemisinin is still "the best weapon" against malaria, the world's No.1 insect-borne infectious disease.

Artemisinin derivatives have been used in the past as the most effective and uncomplicated combatant against malaria. However, according to the latest World Health Report on Malaria, global malaria control has stalled, and malaria remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. Plasmodium is resistant to artemisinin-based antimalarials. It is the biggest technical challenge facing the globe in its fight against malaria.

Tu strove to find solutions, and she has found two that seem to work well enough. One of the solutions is to extend the original three-day treatment to five to seven days. The other is to replace the drugs in artemisinin therapy that have shown resistance. Both solutions have shown positive results suggesting artemisinin is still "the best weapon" to combat the disease.

Upon winning the 2015 Nobel Prize for the discovery of artemisinin, Tu said that drug resistance has remained a big challenge for anti-malaria workers.
