Every year, malaria kills more than 600,000 people worldwide. Most of them are children under 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. But ...

A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body.

Advances in vaccine technology, antibody therapies, and genetic surveillance are giving researchers new tools to fight ...

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 ...

An international research team headed by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and the Center for ...

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 ...

The malaria parasite is still killing almost half a million people every year. A project has now identified a gene that holds out the prospect of a safe, effective live vaccine. The study is published ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
