An international team of researchers has harnessed the potential of AI-powered technology to detect the presence of malaria parasites in returning travelers. As the World Health Organization advocates ...

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 ...

Scientists have detected new strains of malaria-causing parasites in Ethiopia that are both resistant to current treatments and escape detection by common diagnostic tests - a development that could ...

In a study appearing in Nature, an international team of researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, reconstructed the evolutionary history and ...

Using millions of microscope images magnified up to 130,000 times, researchers from Radboud University Medical Center and Toronto have unraveled the structure of two key proteins in the malaria ...

Every cell of the deadly Plasmodium falciparum parasite, the organism that causes malaria, contains a tiny compartment full of microscopic iron crystals. As long as the parasite is alive, the crystals ...

Inside malaria parasites, tiny iron crystals spin like rockets, revealing a hidden weakness scientists may be able to exploit ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body's immune system, sometimes for years. It turns ...

Five cases of malaria spread by mosquitos have been reported in the last two months, and four of those cases were in Florida. The Florida Department of Health announced a statewide mosquito-borne ...

Light microscope image of red blood cells infected with malaria. The dark purple spots in a few of the cells are malaria parasites. Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, ...
