Question: How many treatments do you think there are?

Do you mean current or future? And for Malaria or for all diseases?

If you mean future, how long is a peice of string? Scientists working on Malaria are constantly finding out more about the parasite and what it needs to do to survive and so there will be lots of new things in the future we can exploit in terms of finding new treatments for Malaria. BUt how many things – no one knows. Same goes for other diseases.
