Researchers from the Pasteur Institute discover molecules that can kill the malaria parasite and researchers from LSTM identify a resistance mechanism for insecticides used on bed nets.
What if we could genetically modify the mosquito so that it couldn’t transmit malaria? That’s the idea behind gene drives; Justine Rougé explores.
Gene drives prove most efficient in the introduction of a transgene in populations of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes.
Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall institute identify a new drug which blocks plasmepsin, a critical enzyme in gametocyte production.

The WHO publish their annual World Malaria Report which, this year, places emphasis on protecting pregnant women and children from malaria.
A genome of the European lineage of P. vivax malaria is generated by scientists and engineers develop an artificially-intelligent microscope for malaria diagnosis.
Schoolchildren find that some of their families’ soup recipes have antimalarial properties and a Swiss-led team of cell biologists identify hundreds of targets needed in drug and vaccine development.
Hormones received during mating boost the likelihood of malaria transmission and an ongoing autoimmune attack on uninfected red blood cells can ultimately anaemia.
Research details how malaria parasites prepare for human infection and researchers evaluate the use of drones in spraying insecticide onto irrigated areas of land in Zanzibar.
