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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial weakness in the malaria parasite that could open the door to new treatments. Researchers identified a protein called Aurora-related kinase 1 (ARK1) that acts like a ...

Every cell of the deadly Plasmodium falciparum parasite, the organism that causes malaria, contains a tiny compartment full of microscopic iron crystals. As long as the parasite is alive, the crystals ...

An international team of scientists has shed light on the development of the malaria parasite and has identified a unique protein essential for its survival and transmission, which offers a promising ...

Scientists from Drexel University’s College of Medicine and Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center have uncovered a crucial structural feature of a key malaria drug target, known as PfATP4, and ...

Genomic surveillance has revealed mutations in malaria-causing parasites that will complicate efforts to eradicate the disease in Africa. Scientists have detected new strains of malaria-causing ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite, can hide from the body’s immune system, ...

Scientists have found that a special component in some people's blood provides them with natural protection against malaria. A recent study has demonstrated that a genetic variant named rs112233623-T ...

Every year, malaria kills more than 600,000 people worldwide. Most of them are children under 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. But the disease isn’t confined to poor, rural areas – it’s a global threat that ...

Scientists led by researchers from the Transmission:Zero team at Imperial College London have engineered mosquitoes that slow the growth of malaria-causing parasites in their guts, and prevent ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body's immune system, sometimes for years. It turns ...
