I think this has been an ongoing problem for maybe 20 years

don't most anti-malarials tend to make people a little sick? the preventatives I mean.

Malaria-Causing Parasite Mutating to Resist Multiple Drugs
FRIDAY, Feb. 2, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- An outbreak of multidrug-resistant malaria in southeast Asia likely stems from two mutations of the malaria-causing parasite that combined a decade ago, according to new research.
The parasite and mutations, carried by mosquitoes, spread rapidly in the region for five years before the malaria outbreak became apparent, the researchers said.
Now, to reduce the risk of the parasite becoming untreatable, the investigators urge malaria control programs to closely monitor genetic mutations in the mosquito-borne parasite.
The research was published Feb. 1 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Typically, malaria treatment involves a combination of drugs -- a fast-acting one (called artemisinin) and a longer-acting one. This is to ensure that all parasites are killed and to prevent the emergence of drug resistance, the study authors explained.
But in 2008, malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum parasites started to become resistant to artemisinin in western Cambodia. That resistance now has spread to other parts of Cambodia, as well as to Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, according to the report.
