Antibodies induced by Pfs48/45 protein vaccine effectively blocked the sexual development of the malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium, as it grows within the mosquito. Sexual development is a critical...
Life Sciences | Read moreOn malaria struggle, baboons and humans have similar stories to tell
In humans, subtle variation in one particular gene that controls whether a protein on the surface of red blood cells gets made or not literally spells the difference between susceptibility or resistan...
Life Sciences | Read moreMalaria: Hot News on the Parasite
The malaria pathogen Plasmodium falciparum is a parasite consisting of a single cell. It is transmitted to humans by the bite of an Anopheles mosquito. In the human body the pathogen invades the red b...
Life Sciences | Read moreNew lead on malaria treatment
Approximately 350 million to 500 million cases of malaria are diagnosed each year mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. While medications to prevent and treat malaria do exist, the demand for new treatments i...

The RDT procedure is based on a simple blood test and, according to the results, helps to ensure that a greater number of patients receive the right treatment at no extra cost for the healthcare servi...
Health and Medicine | Read moreDiscovery of variations in resistance to sulfadoxine across Africa
Researchers have discovered that malaria parasites in east and west Africa carry different resistance mutations, which suggests that the effectiveness of sulfadoxine as an antimalarial drug may vary a...
Life Sciences | Read moreLocking Parasites in Host Cell Could Be New Way to Fight Malaria
“Researchers can now develop ways to kill parasites by placing roadblocks in the path they use to destroy their victims,” says Greenbaum. The team discovered that malaria parasites depend upon an enzy...
Health and Medicine | Read moreMalaria Immunity Trigger Found for Multiple Mosquito Species
By silencing the gene, caspar, the researchers were able to block the development of the malaria-causing parasite in Anopheles gambiae, A. stephensi and A. albimanus mosquitoes—three mosquito species ...
Life Sciences | Read moreResearchers identify new way the malaria parasite and red blood cells interact
Malaria is transmitted to humans through bites from mosquitoes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 350 million and 500 million cases of malaria occur world-wide annua...
Health and Medicine | Read moreMalaria parasite zeroes in on molecule to enhance its survival
The scientists believe that shedding light on this poorly understood aspect of malaria metabolism has given them new insights on the interactions between the parasite and its human hosts. The work als...
