It is a devastating disease that also extracts huge economic costs from the poorest countries in endemic regions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting with an overview of the disease and its current political, financial and technical context, this \u003ci\u003eMilestones in Drug Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e volume describes the history, chemistry, mechanisms of action and resistance, preclinical and clinical use, pharmacokinetics and safety and tolerability of the current range of antimalarial drugs. There is particular emphasis on artemisinins and related peroxides, as these drugs have now become the frontline treatment for malaria. Next generation antimalarials, molecular markers for detecting resistance, the importance of diagnostics and disease prevention are also covered in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-02-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783034808088\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-0346-0480-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 318\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Basel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088424341644,"sku":"9783034808088","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783034808088.jpg?v=1779501946","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783034808088","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
