Asymptomatic Plasmodium infections—where individuals harbour malaria parasites without overt clinical symptoms—represent a formidable obstacle to global elimination goals. Such silent reservoirs often ...

Plasmodium vivax remains a leading cause of malaria outside sub-Saharan Africa, distinguished by its capacity to form dormant liver stages (hypnozoites) that can reactivate weeks to months after ...

Interaction between LFA-1 on natural killer cells and GBP-130 on infected erythrocytes enables immune recognition and killing of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells.

Researchers from the Institut de Parasitologie et de Pathologie Tropicale at the University of Strasbourg and the Laboratoire de Parasitologie et de Mycologie Médicale at the Strasbourg University ...

GlobalData monitors data for malaria in 18 major markets, including Ghana and Kenya, where this evaluation study was ...

The dynamic lifecycle of the malaria parasite means that the density of the Plasmodium can suddenly drop below the level of detection in asymptomatic people -- especially when older, less sensitive ...

In a recent study published in eBioMedicine, researchers developed the Flexible, Robust, Equipment-free Microfluidic (FREM) platform for malaria screening and Plasmodium species genotyping. Study: A ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite, can hide from the body’s immune system, ...

The malaria parasite must first enter the liver to reach the blood of its human host, where only a small number of parasites differentiate and replicate for upwards of seven days, making it a ...

CIS43LS is a monoclonal antibody that was shown to protect against controlled Plasmodium falciparum infection in a phase 1 clinical trial. Whether a monoclonal antibody can prevent P. falciparum ...

Malaria is a devastating disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. After an infected mosquitos' bite, the parasites travel to the liver and infect liver cells. This phase of the infection is ...

The parasites that cause malaria may march to the beat of their own drum. A malarial infection is a series of cyclical symptoms. Depending on the Plasmodium species involved, fever and chills return ...
