Malaria is thought to be among the oldest of human diseases. It has
long had serious effects on morbidity and mortality, and in turn on
the economic and social fabric of nations and society. Various
methods have long been utilized to mitigate its frequency and
effects in both temperate and tropical climates. Presently the most
effective treatment of malaria is based on derivatives of
artemisinin, an extract from the plant Artemisia annua. Only
artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) meets international
standards set-up by WHO and UNICEF for the cure of malaria. The
present demand for artemisinin is far more than that of supply,
therefore, researchers are working round the world towards
improving artemisinin content in the plant by various means. This
work explains the potential use of radiolytically derived oligomers
of sodium alginate together with soil-applied phosphorus induce the
productivity and artemisinin (antimalarial drug) synthesis in
Artemisia annua plants.
