Abstract

The recent characterization of the choline carrier of the malaria parasite and its role in the selective delivery of novel antimalarial drugs has reignited interest in parasite transporters as a drug-delivery strategy. In this article, we discuss these findings in relation to the wider context of developing a sustainable antimalarial-drug-development portfolio.
