In this new study, published in PLOS Biology, scientists have uncovered the crucial roles of a group of motor proteins named kinesins during the parasite life cycle. The research, led by Rita Tewari, ...

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 ...

Findings can open up new avenues for targeted approaches toward therapeutic strategies against the malaria-causing P. falciparum that are aimed at stopping the parasite's life cycle progression and ...

A Portland State University-led research team has developed a novel chemical compound that shows promise for the treatment ...

A novel compound developed over 15 years of research has demonstrated unprecedented activity against liver, blood and sexual ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell recently published a study in Nature Microbiology that highlights the newly discovered intricacies of the malaria transmission cycle. The results of their study could have ...

Natural malaria infections have been genetically analysed at a higher resolution than ever before, giving insights that could help understand and block transmission. For the first time, the ...

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 ...

In 1967, Austrian–Brazilian immunologist Ruth Nussenzweig made a momentous discovery. By blasting malaria parasites with radiation, she could weaken them. When injected into mice, these feeble ...

Scientists from the Universities of Leicester and Nottingham have received nearly £600,000 to research how sexual development and gene shuffling within the malaria parasite could help to control ...
