Background: The World Health Organization recommends the use of artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives for malaria treatment. Furthermore, these compounds exhibit encouraging pharmacological effects for the treatment of several diseases. Nevertheless, ongoing antimalarial treatment efforts have been significantly hindered by the emergence of drug resistance.

Introduction: Malaria remains a significant burden, and a fully protective vaccine against is critical for reducing morbidity and mortality. Antibody responses against the blood-stage antigen Merozoite Surface Protein 2 (MSP2) are associated with protection from malaria, but its extensive polymorphism is a barrier to its development as a vaccine candidate. New tools, such as long-read sequencing and accurate protein structure modelling allow us to study the genetic diversity and immune responses towards antigens from clinical isolates with unprecedented detail.

Malaria kills millions of people annually, and it is one of the major causes of preventable mortality in the world. Of the different plasmodium species that induce malaria, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax account for the most severe form of malarial disease in humans. This review focuses on understanding preventive measures, mutation-based disease evolution, malaria-related biomarkers, and potential plant bioactive components for the treatment and management of malaria.

Malaria pertains to an array of catastrophic illnesses spurred on by the Plasmodium spp. Artemisinin (ART) is currently prescribed in conjunction with another medication as part of therapeutic regimens for acute malaria. These currently prescribed pharmaceuticals have been around for a while, even after lack of required thermos-metabolic stabilities, alongside fresh proclaims about surfacing resistance and neurotoxicity linked with sequential administration of such combination therapies.

Background: In 2021, an estimated 750,000 people died from malaria. Despite this significant burden, globally, malaria incidence and mortality rates have substantially dropped over the last 30 years. However, growth in spending on malaria and improved outcomes have recently stagnated.
