According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, there were approximately 229 million cases of malaria around the world, of which 409,000 were fatal. Now, researchers at the Francis Crick ...

Why do parasites harm their hosts? That's a question evolutionary biologists ask as they try to predict how a parasite might ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Researchers said they have identified a new “hidden” life cycle of malaria parasites in the human spleen — a ...

Researchers have designed a drug-like compound which effectively blocks a critical step in the malaria parasite life cycle and are working to develop this compound into a potential first of its kind ...

Scientists have discovered a new target in their fight against the devastating global disease 'malaria' thanks to the discovery of a new protein involved in the parasite's life cycle. The research has ...

Malaria is a life-threatening disease that is transferred by mosquito bites. Interestingly, a specific type of mosquito can carry the disease. The transfer of the parasite to humans travels to the ...

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, ...

Researchers have developed a new antimalarial drug candidate designed to address the growing challenge of drug resistance and ...

A new approach could illuminate a critical stage in the life cycle of one of the most common malaria parasites. The approach was developed by scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated ...

WEHI researchers have visualised a key protein complex in malaria parasites for the first time, uncovering a new target for next-generation vaccines that could help stop the disease from spreading.
