Artemisinin resistance and Nigeria’s malaria burden: urgent policy imperatives from the WHO World Malaria Report 2025!

Abstract

The WHO World Malaria Report 2025 highlights growing artemisinin resistance, with Nigeria bearing the world's highest malaria burden at risk. Although no validated resistance markers were found, non-canonical mutations correlate with delayed parasite clearance. The report urges Nigeria to implement multiple first-line therapies, expand surveillance, and diversify policy urgently.
