Very slow malaria pathogens could be suitable as a vaccine

Scientists have successfully tested a new approach for a malaria vaccine in animal experiments. They used genetically modified malaria parasites that developed normally in the mosquito but at a significantly slower rate in ...

Structural study points the way to better malaria drugs

Structural insights into a potent antimalarial drug candidate's interaction with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have paved the way for drug-resistant malaria therapies, according to a new study by researchers ...

Ultrasensitive tools detect asymptomatic malaria

Researchers in the U.S. and Uganda have developed tools that can detect the slightest traces of malaria in people who harbor the disease but do not show signs of sickness.

New approaches in the fight against drug resistance in malaria
