Sea cucumber protein used to inhibit development of malaria parasite
Scientists have genetically engineered a mosquito to release a sea-cucumber protein into its gut which impairs the development of malaria parasites, according to research out today (21 December) in PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-12-21)

Alzheimer's gene raises newborns' cerebral palsy risk
Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a gene associated with heightened risk for Alzheimer's disease in adults, can also increase the likelihood that brain-injured newborns will develop cerebral palsy, researchers at Children's Memorial Research Center have discovered. view more (2007-02-05)
TREATING CATTLE WITH INSECTICIDE - A NEW APPROACH FOR MALARIA CONTROL IN SOUTH ASIA (p 1837)
Insecticide treatment of livestock could be a new, cost-effective malaria-control strategy in south Asia, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Indoor spraying of houses with insecticide - the standard method of malaria control in south Asia - is becoming prohibitively expensive to implement and new approaches are... view more...

Case Western Reserve researchers discover the key to malaria susceptibility in children
A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have solved the mystery of why some children are more susceptible to malaria infection and anemia. view more (2009-07-28)
Vaccine Blocks Malaria Transmission in Lab Experiments
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute have for the first time produced a malarial protein (Pfs48/45) in the proper conformation and quantity to generate a significant immune response in mice and non-human primates for use in a potential transmission-blocking vaccine. view more (2009-07-23)
New Technique For Measuring Blood Flow To Brain In Babies (p 1749)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how an ultrasound technique can be used as a non-invasive way of measuring blood flow to the brain in babies, which may be of benefit to infants with brain disorders arising from restrictions in cerebral blood flow. Changes in the rate of blood flow to the brain in premature... view more... (2002-11-27)
Scientists report original source of malaria
Researchers have identified what they believe is the original source of malignant malaria: a parasite found in chimpanzees in equatorial Africa. view more (2009-08-04)
Brain-damage Threat From Invasive Assessment Of Heart-valve Stenosis (p 1241)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET warn against the widespread use of catheterisation to assess the extent of aortic-valve stenosis--this invasive procedure could increase the risk of cerebral blood clotting and brain damage. The severity of valvular aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the valve between the left ventricle of the... view more... (2003-04-09)
Multilateral Malaria Secretariat moves to Sweden
Swedish malaria researchers at Stockholm University, Karolinska Institute and the Swedish Institute of Infectious Disease Control announce today that Sweden has been chosen to serve as the Secretariat of the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) for 2003-2005. During the last three years the Fogarty International Center of the U. S. National... view more... (2002-08-13)
Researchers find essential proteins for critical stage of malaria
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified the molecular components that enable the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium to infect the salivary glands of the Anopheles mosquito-a critical stage for spreading malaria to humans. view more (2009-01-16)
Common treatment to delay labor decreases preterm infants' risk for cerebral palsy
Intravenous magnesium sulfate supplementation before preterm delivery cuts the risk for handicapping cerebral palsy in half, according to research led by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) obstetrician Dwight Rouse, M.D., and published in the Aug. 28 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2008-08-28)
Scientists decode genome of parasite that causes relapsing malaria
Scientists have deciphered the complete genetic sequence of the parasite Plasmodium vivax, the leading cause of relapsing malaria, and compared it with the genomes of other species of malaria parasites. view more (2008-10-09)
Mild stress in the womb may worsen risk of cerebral palsy
hronic mild stress in pregnant mothers may increase the risk that their offspring will develop cerebral palsy-a group of neurological disorders marked by physical disability-according to new research in mice. The results may be the first to demonstrate such effects of stress on animals in the womb. view more (2007-07-11)
PROMISING RESULTS FOR MALARIA VACCINE (p 1927)
Results of a study from The Gambia in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence of a vaccine that could prevent malaria caused by the micro-organism Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum malaria remains a major cause of disease and death in many parts of the tropics, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The development of an effective vaccine... view more... (2001-12-05)
'Airport malaria' -- cause for concern in the US
In a global world, significant factors affect the spread of infectious diseases, including international trade, air travel and globalized food production. "Airport malaria" is a term coined by researchers to explain the more recent spread of malaria to areas such as the United States and Europe, which some scientists credit to warmer... view more...

New malaria agent found in chimpanzees close to that commonly observed in humans
Researchers based in Gabon and France report the discovery of a new malaria agent infecting chimpanzees in Central Africa. view more (2009-05-29)
Older drugs may be good stopgap treatment for malaria in Africa
A combination of older malaria drugs could treat malaria efficiently in some parts of Africa until a newer antimalarial drug called is widely available in those areas, a new review of recent studies suggests. view more (2006-01-25)
With annual deaths from malaria on the rise: Scientists ask 'where is all the money going?'
A new study in the April issue of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, asks the question "With more than $220 million dollars dedicated to malaria treatment and prevention, why is the annual mortality rate from malaria on the rise" The study, entitled "Malaria Vector Management: Where Have We Come From and Where... view more...

Drug Combo Against AIDS-Related Infections Also Prevents Malaria
A drug combination used to prevent pneumonia and opportunistic bacterial infection in persons with HIV/AIDS has unexpectedly been found to be highly effective at preventing malaria. view more (2005-10-19)
