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…
A team of researchers from UC Irvine and the Pasteur Institute in Paris have produced a model of the Anopheles stephensi mosquito that impairs the…
In an effort to prevent the transmission of malaria, UC San Diego biologists have engineered algae to produce potential candidates for a vaccine that would…
UCLA engineers have taken online crowd-sourcing a step further. By creating a crowd-sourced online gaming system in which players distinguish malaria-infected red blood cells from…
Out of the 750,000 different species of insects covering Earth, there are about 14,000 that feed on blood, getting their sustenance by puncturing the skin…
