The first global malaria risk map to be developed in forty years has highlighted the 2.37 billion people at risk from one of the world's deadliest diseases. view more (2008-02-26)
Daily temperature shifts may alter malaria patterns
Daytime temperature fluctuations greatly alter the incubation period of malaria parasites in mosquitoes and alter transmission rates of the disease. view more (2009-08-04)
Millions More at Risk Worldwide from Effects of Climate Change
Many millions of people could be placed at risk as a result of higher temperatures in the future, according to new research co-ordinated by the University of East Anglia (UEA). A group of researchers, led by Professor Martin Parry, of the Jackson Environment Institute at UEA, estimated the additional numbers of people likely to be at risk from... view more... (2001-12-10)
Cancer vaccine one step closer
Andreea Ioan-Facsinay from Leiden University Medical Center has attached proteins from tumour cells to antibodies. With these she treated immune cells from a mouse. These treated cells were used to make a vaccine, which was shown to be effective in animal experiments. If the follow-up research is successful, vaccines against cancer will become... view more...

Dramatic fall in malaria in the Gambia raises possibility of elimination in parts of Africa
The incidence of malaria has fallen significantly in The Gambia in the last 5 years, according to a study carried out by experts there with support from scientists based in London. view more (2008-10-31)
Scientists develop malaria forecasting tool to predict disease risk
A new tool to predict epidemics of malaria up to five months in advance has been developed by a scientist at the University of Liverpool. view more (2006-02-07)
Gene that helps mosquitoes fight off malaria parasite identified
Researchers have identified a gene in mosquitoes that helps the insects to fight off infection by the Plasmodium parasite, which causes malaria in humans. Anopheles mosquitoes transmit the malaria parasite to nearly 550 million people worldwide each year with these cases resulting in more than 2 million deaths annually. view more (2005-10-25)
Thesis Award For Research Into Improved Vaccination Against Malaria
Angel Montero Carcaboso's research work, "Lecciones nuevas con una vieja vacuna" (New lessons for an old vaccine) is the prizewinner in the Thesis Award Competition. The Users' Award, on the other hand, goes to, Pedro Ilundain Aranburu's work, "Producci'³n de pinturas vin'licas y acr'licas ecol'³gicas" (Production of... view more... (2004-06-17)
Binghamton University researchers investigate evolving malaria resistance
Funded by a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, scientists at Binghamton University, State University of New York, hope to understand how the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum evolved resistance to the once-effective medication chloroquine. view more (2007-08-30)
New tool promises more accurate antimalarial drug dosing
Scientists at LSTM have developed a tool to support the development of appropriate age-based dosing regimens for malaria drugs. view more (2009-10-30)
Old Stain in a New Combination
New combinations of agents based on the oldest synthetic malaria drug, the methylene blue stain, can curb the spread of malaria parasites and make a significant contribution to the long-term eradication called for by the international "Roll Back Malaria Initiative." view more (2009-05-21)
Hope For New Meningitis Vaccine
Research performed by scientists at the School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, University of Surrey and the Health Protection Agency (Porton Down, Salisbury) provides hope for developing a new meningitis vaccine that will protect children against all groups of meningococcus. Published in the journal, Infection and Immunity, the research... view more... (2004-01-05)
Monkey malaria widespread in humans and potentially fatal
A potentially fatal species of malaria is being commonly misdiagnosed as a more benign form of the disease, thereby putting lives at risk. view more (2008-01-16)
International Excellence Team To Work On Infectious Disease At The Gulbenkian Science Institute, In Portugal
The Gulbenkian Science Institute (IGC), in Portugal, is to host one of the 20 excellence teams approved by the European Commission in the 2004 call. The team, led by IGC researcher Gabriela Gomes, has been awarded a grant of approximately one million and nine hundred thousand euro, to be used over a period of four years. The scientists on the team... view more... (2005-01-31)
Measuring and modeling blood flow in malaria
When people have malaria, they are infected with Plasmodium parasites, which enter the body from the saliva of a mosquito, infect cells in the liver, and then spread to red blood cells. view more (2009-11-23)
GEN reports on efforts to quickly develop swine flu vaccine
Scientists around the world are accelerating their efforts to develop a vaccine against the H1N1 influenza virus (Swine flu) as rapidly as possible, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2009-06-03)
New Treatment Option For Children With Malaria (p 1365)
Combination of the drugs artesunate and amodiaquine could be a new treatment option for children with malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, conclude authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Drug-resistant P. falciparum malaria is a serious problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Chloroquine resistance is a major... view more... (2002-04-17)
Diagnostic tests for malaria underused in Zambia
Despite improvements in the ability to diagnose malaria, these diagnostic tests are often underused in Zambia, and patients with negative test results are often prescribed anti-malaria medications. view more (2007-05-23)
Identifying and disrupting key elements of malaria's 'sticky sack' adhesion strategy
Malaria is one of the most devastating diseases afflicting humanity. It infects and debilitates about 600 million people and kills up to three million people every year, mainly in the wet tropical regions of the world. Children and pregnant women are at particularly high risk. view more (2008-07-11)
Discovery of key malaria proteins could mean sticky end for parasite
Scientists funded by the Wellcome Trust have identified a key mechanism that enables malaria-infected red blood cells to stick to the walls of blood vessels and avoid being destroyed by the body's immune system. The research, published today in the journal Cell, highlights an important potential new target for anti-malarial drugs. view more (2008-07-10)
