Artemisia annua, also known as sweet wormwood,[2]sweet annie, sweet sagewort, annual mugwort[3] or annual wormwood, is a common type of wormwood native to temperate Asia, but naturalized in many countries including scattered parts of North America.[4][5][6][7]
An extract of A. annua, called artemisinin (or artesunate), is a medication used to treat malaria.[8] Discovery of artemisinin and its antimalarial properties by the Chinese scientist Tu Youyou led to the award of the 2011 Lasker Prize and 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[9]
