Scientists have solved a 100-year-old mystery about the evolutionary links between malaria parasites that infect humans and chimpanzees. Scientists have solved a 100-year-old mystery about the ...

The parasites that cause severe malaria are well-known for the sinister ways they infect humans, but new research may lead to drugs that could block one of their most reliable weapons: interference ...

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 ...

Transmitted through infected mosquitos, the malaria parasite, once in the human bloodstream, synchronously ruptures red blood cells and rapidly infects new red blood cells, beginning the cycle anew.

Understanding how malaria parasites evolve after a human is bitten by an infected mosquito is very difficult. There can be billions of individual parasites in a patient's bloodstream and traditional ...

Over the last couple of decades, rapid diagnostic tests have emerged as a vital tool in the fight to control malaria. The relatively inexpensive test strips, which work in just minutes, have diagnosed ...

In a new study, an international team of researchers — including UC Merced Distinguished Professor Emeritus Mark Aldenderfer — reconstructed the evolutionary history and global spread of malaria over ...

Against the backdrop of India’s continuing battle with malaria—particularly in endemic and hard-to-reach regions—the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has invited expressions of interest (EoI) ...
