By limiting transmission, however, you can radically curtail the spread of malaria across a population ". The team began by growing human red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite in the lab, ...

Scientists have unveiled a novel mosquito control strategy: genetically engineered fungi that spread through mating. This strategy offers hope for reducing malaria in high-risk regions. Research: ...

While insecticide-based interventions help reduce malaria's disease burden, rising resistance and evolving behavior by the malaria-spreading anopheles mosquito threaten that progress. In a ...

A novel way to prevent the spread of malaria – a potentially life-threatening disease transmitted through bites from mosquitoes infected by a parasite – could soon be realized, thanks to scientists at ...

Scientists have uncovered how the parasite that causes malaria orchestrates their cell division -- which is key in enabling the parasite to transmit this deadly disease. They show how they have ...

Anopheles funestus, a malaria-transmitting mosquito. [James Gathany, Dr. Frank Collins, University of Notre Dame, courtesy of CDC] Over 247 million cases and 619,000 deaths of malaria were reported in ...

A groundbreaking study combined novel experimental data within an innovative modeling framework to examine how temperature might affect transmission risk of malaria in different environments in Africa ...

A New Jersey resident has developed a case of malaria without having traveled internationally, potentially making it the first locally transmitted case in decades, state health officials say. The ...

A study has characterised the factors that cause the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, to invest resources into reproduction – to maximise transmission to other hosts – or replication – to ...

After nearly four decades of development, the world finally has a malaria vaccine. The first large-scale rollout of GlaxoSmithKline’s RTS,S, or Mosquirix, kicked off at the end of November. And more ...
