Background

Although current malaria treatments are effective in most cases, it is estimated that there are up to 1 million deaths from malaria each year, mostly in pregnant women, and children under the age of 5.

Unfortunately, anti-malarial drugs and eradication of mosquitos by insecticides are becoming less effective due to the development of drug and insecticide resistance.
