Conversion from the asexual to the sexual phase of the malaria parasite is necessary for its transmission to the mosquito. A study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) -- an ...

This article discuss the foundations for genetic linkage mapping and population association analysis of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We review strategies of P. falciparum genetic ...

A previously unknown feature of the malaria parasite development has just been released by an international research team. Their study has shown that, contrary to what has been assumed so far, a ...

Malaria vaccine shows over 50% efficacy in adults following controlled human malaria infection, supporting further trials in children.

Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted from human to human by the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. This ...
