Biodegradable microspheres deliver time release vaccines, stimulate different immune response
A new vaccine delivery system using microspheres of a biodegradable polymer may not only reduce the need for booster shots in some cases, but also appears to stimulate an immune response that traditional vaccines do not. view more (2007-03-01)
Cellular antacids give vaccines a boost
Scientists in Italy have found that a drug that blocks acid buildup inside cells revs up the immune response to vaccines. view more (2005-09-12)
Media availability: The role of biomedical research in malaria eradication
Although malaria has been controlled in many local and regional populations, the permanent elimination of malaria parasites throughout the world remains an elusive goal, and the disease continues to claim nearly one million lives each year. view more (2009-11-02)
U of M researchers find cerebral malaria may be a major cause of brain injury in African children
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have found that cerebral malaria is related to long-term cognitive impairment in one of four child survivors. The research is published in the current issue of the journal Pediatrics. view more (2008-07-30)
Malaria treatment efficacy compromised in certain HIV-positive patients
A weakened immune response resulting from HIV infection can lead to trouble when it comes to treating malaria. view more (2006-09-08)
EDCTP welcomes G8 support for HIV/AIDS vaccine development
On 10th June 2004 during this year's summit in Sea Island, Georgia, the G8 Leaders called for the establishment of a Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise: a virtual consortium to accelerate HIV vaccine development by enhancing coordination, information sharing, and global collaboration. The EDCTP is pleased to see this expression of support and... view more... (2004-06-11)
Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus linked to pediatric cancer in Africa
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is a form of cancer that accounts for up to 74% of malignant disorders in children in equatorial Africa. Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are known cofactors in its development, but to date, their relative contribution has not been well understood. view more (2007-06-08)
Exeter engineers create new technique for malaria diagnosis
Researchers from the Universities of Exeter and Coventry have developed the first new technique for diagnosing malaria able to challenge the rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) currently used in the field. view more (2008-04-28)
Malaria parasite impairs key immune system cells
Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria, impairs the ability of key cells of the immune system to trigger an efficient immune response. view more (2006-04-12)
Could malaria return to the UK?
Millions of tourists now travel between the UK and countries where malaria is endemic. Given this, entomologists from the University of Durham are to undertake a thorough risk assessment of malaria returning to the UK. Speaking at the Royal Entomological Society’s meeting Entomology 2001: “Insects and disease”, to be held at the... view more... (2001-08-30)
NT researchers discover breakthrough in malaria treatment
An article published in the prestigious international journal 'The Lancet' by researchers from the Menzies School of Health Research (MSHR) in Darwin has revealed a breakthrough in the battle to treat Malaria - a disease which effects 40 per cent of the worlds population. view more (2007-03-09)
New treatment for severe malaria
The most dangerous form of malaria is difficult to treat and claims two million lives a year. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a powerful new weapon against the disease. view more (2006-10-02)
Malaria - breakthrough in understanding the side effects of mefloquine
Two British scientists, Dr Ashley Croft and Dr Andrew Herxheimer, have published a paper which for the first time tries to explain the adverse effects of the controversial antimalaria drug, mefloquine (Lariam®). view more (2002-04-23)
Mosquito immune system examined
Mosquitoes employ the same immune factors to fight off bacterial pathogens as they do to kill malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2006-06-09)
Tracing resistance to the antimalarial drug sulfadoxine across Africa
In research published in PLoS Medicine, Cally Roper of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and colleagues use genetic analyses to trace the emergence and dispersal of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Africa. view more (2009-04-14)
Certain combination therapy found more effective for treating malaria in African children
Ugandan children who received the combination therapy of artemether-lumefantrine experienced a lower rate of treatment failure compared to other combination therapies, according to a study in the May 23/30 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on malaria. view more (2007-05-23)
Increase in malaria linked to HIV
People in developing countries with HIV-1 infection may be twice as likely to develop malarial infection and disease compared with HIV-1-negative individuals, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. An association between HIV-1 and malaria is expected in theory, but has not been convincingly shown in practice. James... view more... (2000-09-20)
New lead on malaria treatment
Approximately 350 million to 500 million cases of malaria are diagnosed each year mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. While medications to prevent and treat malaria do exist, the demand for new treatments is on the rise, in part, because malaria parasites have developed a resistance to existing medications. view more (2009-05-19)
Bacteria Play Role in Preventing Spread of Malaria
Bacteria in the gut of the Anopheles gambiae mosquito inhibit infection of the insect with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria in humans, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2009-05-11)
Study of malaria parasites reveals new parasitic states
A team led by scientists at MIT and Harvard University and supported in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a component of the National Institutes of Health, collected blood samples from 43 P. falciparum-infected malaria patients in Senegal who were suffering from a range of malaria symptoms. view more (2007-11-29)
