Researchers compared metabolic responses to human malaria in children of different populations. In 2019, 409,000 people died of malaria–most were young children in sub-Saharan Africa….
Researchers have mapped in fine detail the genetic changes malaria parasites go through as they prepare to infect people. The atlas maps the malaria parasite…
Scientists have discovered that tracking malaria as it develops in humans is a powerful way to detect how the malaria parasite causes a range of…
Genetically modifying mosquitoes to express antimalarial genes and pass them on to their offspring is being tested as a new strategy to eliminate malaria. Altering…
Larvae of a new malaria mosquito species are abundantly present in water containers in cities in Ethiopia. The mosquito, Anopheles stephensi, is the main malaria…
Researchers have discovered a promising new strategy for combating malaria, a mosquito-borne parasite that claims nearly a half-million lives each year. For a study reported…
Despite great efforts in medicine and science, more than 400,000 people worldwide are still dying of malaria. The infectious disease is transmitted by the bite…
Researchers at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine have identified a completely new mechanism by which mosquitoes that carry malaria are becoming resistant to insecticide….
Prototype microscope teaches itself the best illumination settings for diagnosing malaria. Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors,…
More than one million people die annually from cerebral malaria, the most lethal form of the disease. A recent study, led by Yale investigators, explores…
Researchers from UCLA and Washington University in St. Louis have discovered the previously unknown mechanism of how proteins from Plasmodium parasites — which cause malaria…
A serum developed by Yale researchers reduces infection from malaria in mice, according to a new study. It works by attacking a protein in the…
Using a gene editing technique known as CRISPR/Cas9, scientists have shown that inactivating the gene FREP1 reduces mosquitos’ susceptibility to infection with Plasmodium, a genus…
The most important active ingredient against malaria can now be produced in a considerably more efficient and environmentally friendly way. Researchers at the Max Planck…
One of the biggest obstacles to eradicating malaria is a dormant form of the parasite that lurks in the livers of some patients. This dormant…
Researchers from Yale University detail a new way to attack malarial parasites in blood cells. Yale University researchers have found a new way to slow…
New research from Yale University shows that the use of protease inhibitor-based antiretroviral therapy for HIV is an effective measure for reducing malaria in HIV-infected…
A phase III clinical trial in Africa of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine has reported disappointing results. The vaccine failed to show substantial protection for infants…
