    Summary

    Primaquine is the only malaria drug for transmission and relapse but its dosing is unsafe for many. New, safer primaquine dosing strategies are needed, possibly using co-drug synergies.

    Anthelminthic Agents

    Anthelmintic drugs differ significantly from antiparasitic therapies targeting protozoa, primarily due to differences in parasite biology. Whereas most protozoal treatments act on proliferating cells, anthelmintics are typically directed against mature, nonproliferative helminths. The therapeutic approach considers the helminth's reliance on neuromuscular coordination, glucose metabolism, and microtubular integrity for survival, reproduction, and localization within the host. Most anthelmintics...
