Abstract
Despite the many advances that have occurred recently in the treatment of infectious diseases the morbidity and mortality associated with malaria remain major burdens. Children in tropical and subtropical climates are the most affected by this disease, especially those in Africa. Nanotechnology has taken the route of improving accepted formulations of therapeutics by increasing the active range of the treatments as well as decreasing the negative side effects. In this review we examine the efforts and advancements that have been made in the treatment of malaria that are based on nanomaterials.
