Malaria infection models: P. berghei rodents, P. falciparum-infected immunocompromised mice, Plasmodium-infected nonhuman primates
“Overall, the studies support the activity of artesunate and DHA in severe malaria animal models that include rodents infected with the erythrocytic stage parasites of P. berghei, immunocompromised chimeric mice infected with P. falciparum, nonhuman primates infected with P. coatneyi, P. cynomolgi, P. falciparum or P. knowlesi.”

Why that model
Not stated in public reviews
Not reported in the public reviews. Reviewers summarise selectively, so this usually means it wasn't discussed publicly, not that it wasn't studied.
Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
Supports activity in severe malaria animal models, but recrudescence occurs after treatment stops
“Overall, the studies support the activity of artesunate and DHA in severe malaria animal models that include rodents infected with the erythrocytic stage parasites of P. berghei, immunocompromised chimeric mice infected with P. falciparum, nonhuman primates infected with P. coatneyi, P. cynomolgi, P. falciparum or P. knowlesi. However, recrudescence occurs after discontinuation of treatment.”
