Because malaria is not directly transmitted between humans, the parasite must return to a mosquito host to complete its transmission cycle — this is accomplished through a blood meal, in which ...

Researchers explored how a new class of antimalarial compound work to block malaria transmission ... compound, DDD01035881, that blocks male gamete formation in the malaria parasite life cycle ...

Scientists have discovered a new target in their fight against the devastating global disease malaria thanks to the discovery of a new protein involved in the parasite's life cycle.

Malaria is a devastating disease, with 247 million cases and 619,000 deaths reported in 2021 alone. Malaria causes fever and a flu-like illness that occurs when people are infected with the ...

Sexual development is a critical step in the parasite's life cycle and necessary for continued transmission of malaria from mosquitoes to humans. The study is published in the July 22 edition of ...

Malaria is found in more than 90 countries around the world, causing 241 million cases and an estimated 627,000 deaths every year.

For example, when coupled with seasonal malaria chemoprevention (an antimalaria medicine given intensively at times of high transmission), the vaccine has been found to be 60% effective.
