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 ...
It is caused by a single-celled parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted between people by the female Anopheles mosquito when they bite to take blood. In this new study, published in PLOS ...
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 ...
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 ...
For the first time, the developmental stages of the deadliest human malaria parasite have been mapped in high resolution, allowing researchers to understand this ever-adapting adversary in more detail ...
Malaria is caused by a eukaryotic microbe of the Plasmodium genus, and is responsible for more deaths than all other parasitic diseases combined. In order to transmit from the human host to the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
James Gathany / AP Mosquitoes carry malaria, which kills hundreds of thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the pesky insects into allies in ...
