Development of a Genetic Tool for Functional Screening of Anti-Malarial Bioactive Extracts in Metagenomic Libraries

The chemical treatment of Plasmodium falciparum for human infections is losing efficacy each year due to the rise of resistance. One possible strategy to find novel anti-malarial drugs is to access the largest reservoir of genomic biodiversity source on earth present in metagenomes of environmental microbial communities.
