Antimalarial Drugs I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 68 / 1))

Abstract

There are at least one hundred species of malaria parasites, of which four occur in man. The others are important for the following reasons: (a) certain species affect domestic animals and epizootics may be a problem in veterinary medicine; (b) some species are widely used in malaria research in studies of the human disease, including experimental pharmacology; and (c) various species have proved to be invaluable for the solution of fundamental problems of the life cycle. The investigation of the group as a whole is of great interest to zoologists and parasitologists.
