The artemisinin resistance is very scary. Cambodia is where Chloroquine resistance developed, which has since spread to Africa. If artemisinin resistance were to become widespread too, it would be a disaster. Containing it is a very tough problem, but there are efforts underway to try. One of the members of my lab is traveling to the area soon to test a new screening method.
