WEHI researchers have visualized a key protein complex in malaria parasites for the first time, uncovering a new target for next-generation vaccines that could help stop the disease from spreading.
One-off cases of malaria in the U.S. may become more common as warming temperatures lead to booming mosquito populations ...
It was Mozambique’s winter season, when cooler and drier weather have historically meant less malaria transmission. But there’d been so many suspected cases that day that the health center had ...
Scientists develop mRNA vaccine reducing malaria transmission by 99.7%, offering hope in the fight against this deadly disease.
Areas at risk for malaria transmission in Africa may decline more than previously expected because of climate change in the 21st century, suggests an ensemble of environmental and hydrologic models.
Finally, they compared the malaria incidence in the different regions using dam sizes as the reference. Malaria cases were compared for 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.
As the South had the most malaria transmission, the center was based in Atlanta, still home to the CDC today. The tools used to control it now, while improved, adhere to many of the same principles.
In the last outbreak of locally acquired malaria in the US, which occurred in 2003, at least seven people in Palm Beach, Florida, fell ill from malaria with a P. vivax infection.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute have for the first time produced a malarial protein (Pfs48/45) in the proper conformation and quantity to generate a significant immune ...
Past estimates put the optimal temperature for malaria transmission at 88 degrees F. But according to a new mathematical model based on mosquito thermal physiology, the temperature for peak ...
