Malaria is a prominent vector-borne illness caused by Plasmodium parasites. Therapeutic intervention remains a critical component for disease eradication efforts but is complicated by the emergence of drug resistance. This SnapShot summarizes the human-relevant stages of the P. falciparum life cycle and describes how licensed antimalarials, clinical candidates, and newly emerging compounds target each stage to prevent, treat, or block transmission of malaria. To view this SnapShot, open or download the PDF.
