Owing to the absence of antiparasitic vaccines and the constant threat of drug
resistance, the development of novel antiparasitic chemotherapies remains of
major importance for disease control. A better understanding of drug transport
(uptake and efflux), drug metabolism and the identification of drug targets, and
mechanisms of drug resistance would facilitate the development of more effective
therapies. Here, we focus on malaria and African trypanosomiasis. We review
existing drugs and drug development, emphasizing high-throughput genomic and
genetic approaches, which hold great promise for elucidating antiparasitic
mechanisms. We describe the approaches and technologies that have been
influential for each parasite and develop new ideas for future research
directions, including mode-of-action studies for drug target deconvolution.
