Apicoplasts are organelles that were discovered in parasites like the one that causes malaria. How did scientists discover these organelles, and what do they do?

The journey to eliminate malaria is complex, hindered by the parasite's adaptability and challenges in vaccine development.

The study also revealed significant differences in the regulatory mechanisms of Plasmodium compared to other eukaryotes. The parasite lacks several typical cell cycle regulators, including polo ...

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 ...

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 most ...
