Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, the potential range of the disease is growing. While some drugs can effectively prevent and treat malaria, resistance to those drugs ...

It’s not often that inflammation gets a good rap. It’s been linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. But a new study may have uncovered a positive use for the body’s natural ...

Research could pave the way to new anti-malarials that work by “jet-lagging” the parasites that cause the disease. DURHAM, N.C. -- Health officials warn that drug resistance could wipe out recent ...

Why do parasites harm their hosts? That's a question evolutionary biologists ask as they try to predict how a parasite might ...

For the first time the developmental stages of the deadliest human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, have been mapped in high resolution, allowing scientists to better understand this ...

In a new study published in Nature, scientists have successfully developed genetically modified mosquitoes in Tanzania that block the transmission of malaria. The team includes researchers from the ...

Scientists at Stockholm University and collaborators say they have used high-resolution genomic tools to map the global repertoire of genes of gametocyte development toward the male or the female ...

Researchers have chanced upon a bacteria naturally present in the gut of mosquitoes that inhibits the growth of a parasite that causes the deadliest form of malaria. Unlikely to produce resistance, ...

Australian researchers have worked with global phamarceutical company MSD to co-develop a new antimalarial drug candidate ...

Using millions of microscope images magnified up to 130,000 times, researchers from Radboud university medical center and Toronto have unraveled the structure of two key proteins in the malaria ...

Researchers found that by preventing the malaria parasite from scavenging fatty acids, a type of required nutrient, it could no longer grow. Living organisms often create what is needed for life from ...
