Despite the success in malaria control, it remains a life-threatening infectious disease due mainly to the persistent emergence of drug resistance. Sharpened insight into the historical achievements and current trends in antimalarial drug discovery provides more hopes and advantages on natural products for the development of the next antimalarial treatment.
