Drugs, insecticides, bed nets... all preventive resources
Complete protection against malaria is impossible but bed nets treated with insecticides limit the risk of contracting the disease.
There is no vaccine against malaria yet although researchers are still working on it.
Amodiaquine, artesunate, and other drugs can be used for malaria cure
For the treatment of non-complicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the W.H.O recommends to use artemisinin-based combination therapy (A.CT.). ACTs are combination of a derivative of Artemisinin (such as artesunate, artemether...) and another antimalarial drug like amodiaquine, mefloquine, etc. Doctors and pharmacists can help you to choose the ACT fitted.
