This presentation provides an introduction to antimalarial drug resistance. First we will focus on how drug resistance is observed and measured. Thereafter we will describe the historical emergence and spread of drug resistance. Third we will focus on molecular aspects of drug resistance, the so-called molecular markers and finally we will describe how we can use our knowledge regarding these molecular markers in the surveillance of drug resistance and eventually help in guide us in the decision-making when developing new drug policies.

This presentation provides an introduction to antimalarial drugs, different treatment and prophylaxis strategies and an overview of which drugs and drug combinations that are currently in use.
