title: [Research progress on antimicrobial peptides against malaria parasite].
abstract: Antimicrobial peptides have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and high thermal stability. Researches prove that they can inhibit the development of Plasmodium or kill them. The paper focuses on research advances in their biological characteristics, natural or synthetic peptides as potential anti-Plasmodium agents in malaria research.
