Evolution-proof insecticides may stall malaria forever
Killing just the older mosquitoes would be a more sustainable way of controlling malaria, according to entomologists who add that the approach may lead to evolution-proof insecticides that never become obsolete. view more (2009-04-07)
Malaria early-warning system shows promise in tackling epidemics
Malaria is one of the world's biggest killers, taking the lives of more than 1 million people every year, as well as infecting a staggering 500 million worldwide. view more (2006-02-02)
A Step Closer to a Malaria Vaccine
An international team of scientists that includes a researcher from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has determined the three-dimensional molecular structure of a promising malaria-vaccine component. view more (2005-08-30)
Malaria-resistant mosquitoes battle disease with 'molecular warhead'
A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered why some mosquitoes are resistant to malaria, a finding that may one day help fight a disease that afflicts and kills millions of people. view more (2007-07-09)
Entomologists offer new hope for controlling malaria
Entomologists are bringing new hope of preventing malaria in tropical villages. Research published in the new issue of the Royal Entomological Society journal Medical & Veterinary Entomology could significantly improve the effectiveness of insecticide-treated mosquito nets. One paper (Guillet et al, Medical & Veterinary Entomology, 15(1),... view more... (2001-03-07)
Burmese junta responding too slowly on HIV, TB, malaria and avian flu
Burma's authoritarian military regime, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), is impeding the health community's efforts to control infectious disease threats in Burma, according to an investigation published in PLoS Medicine. view more (2006-10-10)
Study: Delaying evolution of drug resistance in malaria parasite possible
There's no magic bullet for wiping out malaria, but a new study offers strong support for a method that effectively delays the evolution of drug resistance in malaria parasites, a University of Florida researcher says. view more (2008-09-05)
The Role Of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Malaria, And Tuberculosis On The Hiv-1/Aids Epidemic In Africa (p 2177)
The effect of HIV-1 on other infectious diseases in Africa is an increasing public health concern. In a review in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Elizabeth Corbett from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and the Harare Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe, and colleagues describe the role that three major... view more...

Breakthrough in combating the side effects of Quinine
Discovered back in the 1600s quinine was the first effective treatment in the fight against malaria - and it continues to be a commonly used treatment against this devastating disease. view more (2009-06-30)
Brain Blood Flow Gives Clues to Treating Depression
The usefulness of established molecular imaging/nuclear medicine approaches in identifying the "hows" and "whys" of brain dysfunction and its potential in providing immediately useful information in treating depression are emphasized in a study in the August Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2007-08-09)
How Montezuma gets his revenge
Every year, about 500 million people worldwide are infected with the parasite that causes dysentery, a global medical burden that among infectious diseases is second only to malaria. view more (2008-06-16)
Two genetic traits giving Africans malaria protection lose effectiveness when they occur together
Two genetic conditions-sickle cell trait and a mild version of the blood disorder known as thalassemia-that by themselves give millions of Africans natural protection against malaria. view more (2005-11-16)
Researchers identify key protein in immune response to malaria and TB
An international team of researchers has identified a key protein involved in the immune system's response to malaria, tuberculosis (TB) and a number of other infectious diseases. The insights suggest possible new therapies to tackle these major global diseases. view more (2007-03-27)
Debate on administration of magnesium sulfate to pregnant women to prevent cerebral palsy in preterm infants
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent chronic childhood motor disability with an estimated lifetime cost of nearly $1 million per individual. view more (2009-06-30)
Tryptophan deficiency may underlie quinine side effects
Researchers have found that the anti-malarial drug quinine can block a cell's ability to take up the essential amino acid tryptophan, a discovery that may explain many of the adverse side-effects associated with quinine. view more (2009-06-29)
Malaria mechanism revealed
By determining the molecular structure of a protein that enables malaria parasites to invade red blood cells, researchers have uncovered valuable clues for rational antimalarial drug design and vaccine development. view more (2005-07-29)
WHO 2003-2008: A Programme Of Quiet Thunder Takes Shape (p 179)
This week's editorial looks ahead to the future of WHO as Dr J W Lee is poised to take over as leader of the only global health agency from Gro Harlem Brundtland on July 21. Lee's priorities are discussed: 'The priority among priorities is HIV/AIDS. The phrase "3-by-5" peppers the language of Lee loyalists. His goal is to get 3 million... view more... (2003-07-16)
Study points to genes responsible for malaria parasite's survival in attempts to eradicate it
Malaria is a nasty and often fatal disease, which may lead to kidney failure, seizures, permanent neurological damage, coma, and death. There are four types of Plasmodium parasites that cause the disease, of which falciparum, the subject of the recent study, is the most deadly. view more (2006-06-20)
Malaria : Plasmodium togetherness a strategy for breeding success
Malaria, which infects 600 million people in the world and leads annually to 2 million deaths, is the most widespread of infectious diseases. The pathological agent is a microscopic parasite of the Plasmodium genus which develops inside the host's erythrocytes. Plasmodia go through a series of asexual reproduction cycles before a transition takes... view more... (2004-02-20)
New method shows that neocortical nerve cells are not renewed
Most bodily organs continually die and regrow a little at a time. It takes two years, for example, for all the cells of the liver to be replaced by fresh ones. Research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now shows that there is one important exception to this - the nerve cells of the brain remain the same throughout a person's life. view more (2006-08-14)
