Paving way for new therapies, researchers decode how parasites that spread one of the world's deadliest diseases use trickery ...

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 ...

Drexel University scientists have discovered an unusual mechanism for how two new antimalarial drugs operate: They give the parasite’s skin a boost in cholesterol, making it unable to traverse the ...

Malaria remains a persistent public health burden, with Plasmodium falciparum causing the most dangerous form of malaria and the most lethal infections. Its capacity to develop resistance to current ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle that appears to be crucial for reproduction. This is important because ...

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 ...

Malaria parasites contain tiny spinning crystals that have puzzled scientists for years. New research reveals they’re powered by a rocket-like reaction that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, releasing ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists have mapped the genomes of the parasite that causes most cases of malaria outside Africa and a monkey parasite that is emerging as an important cause of malaria in ...

By Linda Naa Deide Aryeetey, GNA London, April 4, GNA- Target Malaria, a non-profit research consortium based at Imperial College, London, is exploring a genetic technology that could reduce mosquito ...

One might envision a microscopic creature with its very own built-in engine, an engine whose power is fueled by something surprisingly similar to the power of rocket fuel. Scientists have now ...
