NewsStudy reveals immune blueprint for next-generation malaria vaccine
New research has uncovered how the human immune system fights Plasmodium vivax, paving the way for the first effective vaccine against the most widespread form of malaria. It provides critical evidence of how protective immunity to P. vivax works, identifying specific targets on the parasite.

NewsA rapid evolutionary process provides Sudanese Copts with resistance to malaria
An international study investigating the genomic diversity of the Sudanese population reveals that the Copts originating in Egypt –who settled in the country between the seventh and eleventh centuries– have acquired a genetic variant that protects them from contracting malaria.

NewsSynthetic compound has the potential to treat malaria and prevent its transmission
Tests on cell cultures and rodents have shown that the new molecule acts on all three stages of the disease cycle, eliminating the parasite from human blood and liver and preventing transmission to mosquitoes.

NewsNew antimalarial drug candidate shows potential for fighting resistance and reducing malaria transmission
Researchers have developed a new antimalarial drug candidate designed to address the growing challenge of drug resistance and potentially reduce malaria transmission.

NewsScientists identify molecules associated with recurrence in blood samples from malaria patients
Researchers have described for the first time possible biomarkers associated with recurrence of vivax malaria. The study involved analysis of blood samples from volunteers infected by Plasmodium vivax.

NewsScientists show the key role of spleen and extracellular vesicles in cryptic malaria infections
A new study has provided new insights into the role of the spleen in malaria, especifically in infections caused by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium vivax.
-
NewsGenome research reveals the global march of malaria
Researchers have reconstructed ancient Plasmodium genome-wide data from 36 malaria-infected individuals spanning 5,500 years of human history on five continents, reconstructing the worldwide spread of malaria and its historical impact.
-
NewsBiological clocks of people and malaria parasites tick in tune
Research could pave the way to new anti-malarials that work by ’jet-lagging’ the parasites that cause the disease.

NewsFunding backs world-first test to detect ‘insidious’ malaria infections
Research to develop and deploy a world-first diagnostic test that could accelerate malaria eradication has been bolstered with over $1.3 million in new funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in the US.
