Abstract Malaria continues to affect public health and economic growth in many regions of the world. The number of infections continues to rise and is associated with increased mortality, despite basic science and public health efforts. Drug therapy remains the mainstay of treatment and prevention of this disease. Plasmodium has a complex life cycle involving an arthropod vector and distinct stages within the human host. Each parasite stage plays a unique role in transmission, disease, and latency. These different stages may vary in their response to the various antimalarial compounds. This article will review antimalarial therapies and drug resistance in the context of the parasites' biology. For control malaria are used & elimination of rantimalarial drugs. Because of development of artemisinin the combination therpies in burden based decrease of malaria. There is potential spread of artemisinin. Resistant Urgent parasites in Asia have raised Concerns Due to this threat the TCEMRS. International Centers of Excellence for malaria Research ane studying the mechanism & underlying doug resistance Research activities. Are taken at multiple sentinel sites of the global ICEMR network For ex vivo/ in vitro assays to measure droug ceptibilities of parasites isolates & charcterisation of resistance – megreting panasite polymerphisms. From this we antimalarial review Worldwild drug resistance concerns Summarize research activitie of the ICEMRS related to droug resistance Self-medication for malaria is very common in Sub-Saharan Africa where this parasitosis is endemic. In order to determine the extent, characteristics and factors associated with this practice in medical area in the city of Lubumbashi, a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out by direct interview from January 2018 to June 2018, in the internal medicine departments of 10 General Referral Hospital (GRH). Five thousand one hundred and thirty- four patients were consulted among them, 96.6% (average age 38.7 ± 8 years; average income: 100+ 12 USD; gender male/female ratio: 0.86) practice self-medication with antimalarials. They used it for the first time at an average age of 13-17 years. Quinine (36.4%) and Carica papaya (0.4%) are the most used remedies in conventional and non-conventional medicine, respectively. Several risks are incurred during this practice when the most cited are worsening side effects (53%), incomplete treatment (37%) and appearance to health sciences (37%). Age (17-35 and > 65 years old), low income (50-150 USD), membership in a health sector and the claim to know antimalarial drugs, predispose patients to self-medication. There is an urgent need to regulate this practice to avoid its harmful consequences.
