Abstract
Malaria is one of the major public health problems caused by parasites belonging to plasmodium genus in the tropical and subtropical countries. Advancement of nanotechnology is opening up a window of huge opportunities for better treatment of malaria. Different nano drug delivery systems such as liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimer, nano-emulsion and polymeric nanoparticles are widely investigated for treating malaria. In this review, the recent advances in nanomedicine for antimalarial drug delivery are summarised.
