NewsMalaria risk in the Amazon is higher in regions with intermediate forest degradation
Research shows that areas with 50% deforestation near residential areas or fragmented vegetation allow greater contact between mosquitoes and humans. The study helps us understand the link between forest destruction and the spread of the disease.

NewsBacterial ‘biopesticide’ against malaria mosquitoes successful in early field tests
An experimental bacteria-derived biopesticide is highly effective in killing malaria-carrying mosquitoes, including those that have developed resistance to chemical pesticides, according to initial field tests.

NewsNew study links climate change to malaria increase in northern Kenya
A new study reveals key insights into how climatic factors like rainfall and temperature, combined with socio-economic changes such as urbanization and malaria control interventions, are affecting the spread of malaria in Kenya.

NewsStudy supports potential for injectable ‘chemical vaccine’ for malaria using atovaquone
Researchers demonstrate in mouse model that key mutation that renders malaria parasites resistant to atovaquone also makes them non-transmissible via mosquitoes.
