The mosquito-borne infectious disease malaria resulted in about 241 million clinical episodes and 627,000 deaths in 2020.

Zeeshan, M., et al. (2022) Genome-wide functional analysis reveals key roles for kinesins in the mammalian and mosquito stages of the malaria parasite life cycle.

Researchers said they have identified a new “hidden” life cycle of malaria parasites in the human spleen — a finding that could have implications for malaria elimination programs, one of ...

The malaria parasite, Plasmodium spp., belongs to the Apicomplexan phylum, a group of obligate invasive, unicellular parasites, which form male and female gametes.

The development of the malaria parasite throughout its life cycle is mostly controlled by how the chromatin structure, together with epigenetics, modulates gene expression.

The discovery, published in Science, has led to the development of a promising new mRNA vaccine candidate that stops the malaria parasite from reproducing inside mosquitoes, breaking the cycle of ...

The malaria parasite, Plasmodium spp., belongs to the Apicomplexan phylum, a group of obligate invasive, unicellular parasites, which form male and female gametes.

The study, scheduled for publication on-line in the preview edition of Public Library of Science Biology (PLoS Biology) on August 20, reveals that an unusually high percentage of genes—at least 60 ...

The protein that has been identified is called CDC20 and plays a part in the cell division cycle of the malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei which infects mice and rats.

“We found evidence that lncRNAs are distributed in distinct cellular compartments in P. falciparum. Depending on their localization, they are found to play important roles in regulating gene ...
