The researchers of Melbourne university have created a mathematical model to forecast antimalarial drugs in Africa to control one of the biggest memorial threats. The World Health Organisation calculated there would be 241 million malaria patients across the world in 2020, with an additional 600,000 deaths.“This research merges all the SP resistance information from the last two decades into a representative. It permits national malaria control programmes and experimenters to get much-needed data on the extent of resistance in a given area in a given year. This permits us to comprehend the consequence of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance on the effectiveness of these preventive interventions nicely and chooses if and when to view alternative drugs for chemoprevention.” Professor Flegg said, "This research tool should assist direction towards health guidelines that will bring the World Health Organisation's enterprising target of annihilating malaria by 2030 one phase nearer."

The research obtained budget from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Smith Institute for Applied Research, and the Australian Research Council.
