Comprehensive genetic mapping of Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite that causes malaria, has revealed the genes required for malaria infection of the blood, and those driving drug resistance.

Scientists are exploring the key proteins and metabolic pathways in Plasmodium falciparum to develop new drugs to prevent malaria. Pink block arrows indicate the steps inhibited by antimalarial ...

It is hoped the jab – known as RH5.1/Matrix-M – will “significantly reduce ... in the “blood stage”, which comes after the plasmodium falciparum parasite that causes the deadliest ...

The aim of this study was to compare the susceptibility of M and S molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis to infection by Plasmodium falciparum. METHODS: F3 progenies of ...

A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated. The map contains the ...
