Antimalarial drugs and chemicals were examined for their contact-wise TB activity. A collection of oral antimalarial medicines at 0.1 mmol/m² were pre-exposed to mosquitoes for 1 h and then the mosquitoes were fed with P. falciparum containing human blood by SFMA. The tested compounds include quinine, primaquine, artemisinin and its derivatives (artemether, arteether, artesunate), pyrimethamine, sulfadoxine, methylene blue, salinomycin, and asperaculane B. The oocyst densities of individual compounds were compared with those of the control. ns not significant; *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001, ***P < 0.0001
