Ok...I've actually seen a couple of different answers, so I'm going to ask the "experts"...

Which drug(s) is used for malaria prophylaxis?
Which drug(s) is used for malaria treatment?

chloroquine for blood forms and prophalaxis
primaquine for tissue schizonts,hypnozoites gametes
mefloquine for drug resistant falciparum-erythrocytic form
Ironically quinidine and quinine are also used for blood schizonts/treatment
