Weakened malaria parasites form basis of new vaccine strategy
Using live but weakened malaria parasites as the basis of a vaccine represents a potentially encouraging anti-malaria strategy, according to results of follow-up animal studies performed after the conclusion of a recent clinical trial in humans. View More (2011-09-09)
For treating malaria, less drugs may be best drugs
The current dosage of drugs used in treating malaria may be helping the parasites become resistant to the drugs faster, without improving the long-term outcome in patients. View More (2007-11-27)
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)
Bug-Zapper: A dose of radiation may help knock out malaria
How are physicists helping an effort to eradicate malaria, the mosquito-borne disease that kills more than one million people every year" Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) used their expertise in radiation science to help a young company create weakened, harmless versions of the malaria-causing parasite.

A safer treatment could be realized for millions suffering from parasite infection
A safer and more effective treatment for 10 million people in developing countries who suffer from infections caused by trypanosome parasites could become a reality thanks to new research from Queen Mary, University of London. View More (2011-04-18)
Immune genes adapt to parasites
Thank parasites for making some of our immune proteins into the inflammatory defenders they are today. View More (2009-05-26)
Locking Parasites in Host Cell Could Be New Way to Fight Malaria, Penn Study Shows
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that parasites hijack host-cell proteins to ensure their survival and proliferation, suggesting new ways to control the diseases they cause. View More (2009-04-06)
Scans show immune cells intercepting parasites
Researchers may have identified one of the body's earliest responses to a group of parasites that causes illness in developing nations. View More (2008-12-11)
'Needle-free' intervention as natural vaccine against malaria
A study published in the journal Science Translation Medicine proposes that preventative treatment with affordable and safe antibiotics in people living in areas with intense malaria transmission has the potential to act as a 'needle-free' natural vaccine against malaria and may likely provide an additional valuable tool for controlling and/or eliminating malaria in resource-poor settings.

Researchers characterize potential protein targets for malaria vaccine
Researchers from Nijmegen and Leiden have now characterized a large number of parasite proteins that may prove useful in the development of a human malaria vaccine. View More (2008-10-31)
In the migratory marathon, parasitized monarchs drop out early
A little-studied outcome of animal migration is whether these long journeys can limit the spread of parasites by weeding out diseased animals. Monarch butterflies in eastern North America fly up to thousands of kilometers from Canada to Central Mexico - one of the longest migrations of any insect species. View More (2005-02-08)
Scientists show that HIV drugs can also target tropical parasites
Scientists have discovered that drugs used to treat HIV may also one day become lifesaving drugs targeted at parasitic diseases such as leishmaniasis and malaria. View More (2011-05-03)
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)
NIH-funded scientists identify potential malaria drug candidates
Researchers have discovered a group of chemical compounds that might one day be developed into drugs that can treat malaria infection in both the liver and the bloodstream. View More (2011-11-18)
Aggressive drug therapy aids superbug evolution
New research raises troubling concerns about the use of aggressive drug therapies to treat a wide range of diseases such as MRSA, C. difficile, malaria, and even cancer. View More (2011-08-04)
First genetically-engineered malaria vaccine to enter human trials
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have created a weakened strain of the malaria parasite that will be used as a live vaccine against the disease. View More (2009-07-29)
Parasites a key to the decline of red colobus monkeys in forest fragments
Forest fragmentation threatens biodiversity, often causing declines or local extinctions in a majority of species while enhancing the prospects of a few. View More (2007-10-25)
New hope for advances in treating malaria
Researchers at the University of Leeds have developed chemicals which kill the most deadly malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum -- including those resistant to existing drugs. View More (2009-04-22)
To fight disease, animals, like plants, can tolerate parasites
Animals, like plants, can build tolerance to infections at a genetic level, and these findings could provide a better understanding of the epidemiology and evolution of infectious disease, according to evolutionary biologists. View More (2007-11-07)
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)
