One key way to tell them apart is the appearance of a classic "Maltese cross morphology" in babesiosis, which occurs when four Babesia parasite rings arrange themselves within the red blood cell ...

A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest form of human malaria, that could ...

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 ...

Malaria, a potentially deadly disease caused by a mosquito-borne parasite, is making inroads into the US. Five new cases of malaria — one in Texas and four in Florida — are alarming officials ...

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

Malaria was responsible for approximately 608,000 deaths in 2022 (WHO) and is caused by a single-celled parasite termed Plasmodium, that invades the liver and red blood cells.

The researchers suspected that DMT1 might help malaria parasites use iron because it looks somewhat similar to genes involved in metal transport in other organisms. Importantly, they found that DMT1 ...

The identification of genes essential to the parasite’s intrahepatic development facilitated the creation of genetically attenuated malaria parasites, which can be produced and are amenable to ...

To assess the origins of mutant parasites, we genotyped seven microsatellites flanking pfk13 (Table S2) in parasites collected in Uganda from 2017 through 2021, removed samples missing more than ...

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, the team captured the first detailed structure of a protein complex essential for malaria parasite fertilization. The discovery, published in Science ...
