How decoding the mosquito’s sense of smell could take the bite out of malaria. An interview with Professor Conor McMeniman of the Malaria Research Institute at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers detail the extent of antimalarial drug resistance around the world, considering its implications for the WHO’s Global Technical Strategy for Malaria.
Researchers reveal the importance of antibody affinity and dissociation constant in parasite neutralisation.
Researchers develop an image recognition tool to identify mosquitoes in the field, and a new paper highlights the nuanced realities of malaria decision-making in endemic regions.
Researchers find that SUB2, a malaria parasite enzyme, helps the parasite survive in the human host and new research characterises cerebral malaria infection in adults and children.
Researchers identify three biomarkers associated with gametocytes development that predict transmission potential, and the use of LAMP-based malaria diagnostic tools is evaluated.
The WHO publishes its annual World Malaria Report and a new article stresses the need for highly-effective vaccines to eliminate malaria.
Pb22, a protein expressed by Plasmodium berghei, may play an important role in the transmission of malaria, and review on the use of tafenoquine finds that the drug is well-tolerated and effective.
Determining drug efficacy through parasite clearance half-life may underestimate the activity of some antimalarial drugs, and the WHO publishes new guidance on the use of genetically modified mosquitoes.
New research examines the long-term impact of malaria infection on γδ T cells, and a review of malaria cases among pregnant women in Lagos, Nigeria, explores the impact of preventative measures on the prevalence of malaria and anaemia.
