Natural malaria infections have been genetically analysed at a higher resolution than ever before, giving insights that could help understand and block transmission. For the first time, the ...

In a new paper, published in PLOS Biology, a team of scientists at the university, along with collaborators across the globe, show how they have uncovered key regulators of how malaria parasites ...

Scientists at Stockholm University and collaborators say they have used high-resolution genomic tools to map the global repertoire of genes of gametocyte development toward the male or the female ...

A recent breakthrough sheds light on how the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, invades human red blood cells. The study reveals the role of a sugar called sialic acid in this invasion process.

Malaria is a life-threatening disease affecting people globally. It is spread by mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium parasites that infect and hide in red blood cells, making them difficult for the immune ...

Researchers identified an enzyme that helps Plasmodium-infected red blood cells adhere to the placenta, providing molecular insights into placental malaria. “This is a really lovely piece of science,” ...

Malaria may have shaped early human life across Africa far earlier than once thought, steering where people could safely live ...

The Nyanza region has long been known for its high malaria burden. But it now faces another serious health challenge - Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) - which has taken root, especially in Kisumu County.

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 ...
