The mosquito-borne infectious disease malaria resulted in about 241 million clinical episodes and 627,000 deaths in 2020. In young children and pregnant women living in areas where the disease is ...

Could the next weapon against malaria come from a better understanding of biological clocks? A new study shows that malaria parasites sync their gene activity with the circadian rhythms of their host, ...

A newly revealed role of lncRNAs in the deadly malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has opened new avenues for targeted therapeutic strategies. Malaria continues to be one of the most critical ...

A new approach to antimalarial development, aided by high-throughput screening, could help to overcome resistance.

The team began by growing human red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite in the lab, then manipulated the parasites to enter their sexual life stage. The scientists then treated these ...

The first high-resolution map of proteins in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) suggests that the parasite uses decoy proteins to limit our long-term immune response. The ...

Researchers report that the discovery of a malaria protein that helps the parasite grow inside red blood cells and plays a key regulatory role in the parasite’s immune evasion tactics could pave the ...

A molecular quality-control system in Anopheles mosquitoes—the species responsible for most of the world’s malaria cases—is a promising target for future malaria-control strategies, according to a ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A cancer drug currently in clinical trials has shown the potential to protect from, cure, and prevent transmission of malaria. The breakthrough finding by an international team ...

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 ...
