1600 years ago, the ancient Chinese medical books have introduced the method of using Artemisia annua to treat malaria. The clinical use of Artemisia annua in China from the 1980s. Of malaria cases in China is relatively small, the use of Artemisia annua is not until the beginning of this century, the World Health Organization to adjust the strategy of prevention and treatment of malaria, the function of the Artemisia annua by the global attention.
Adjust the strategy, artemisinin attention
The world's large-scale malaria control work began in the 1950s, initially in addition to treatment with antibiotics in patients, mainly with DDT (DDT) anti-mosquito. Although DDT can be anti-mosquito, but it pollutes the environment, and has the potential to bring new diseases.
To the 1990s, due to the threat of traditional anti-malarial drugs too much, the body begins to produce different levels of resistance, the emergence of malaria in Africa and parts of Asia, rapidly becoming the "killer" after AIDS, the lives of more than 300 million people worldwide each year the number of people suffering from malaria deaths over three million, mostly children under 5 years old.
Experts began to realize that malaria control should be the main treatment. They suggested that the World Health Organization to change the original anti-mosquito strategy, according to the varying conditions in different integrated treatment mainly to resist the invasion of the malaria.

These agents are mainly from China.
