CRESIB coordinates an international consortium to fight malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax
The CRESIB has today presented the research programme on malaria by Plasmodium vivax, a parasite causing over 70 million yearly cases of malaria in the world.   view more (2007-07-18)

Sugar identified as key to malaria parasite invasion
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified a sugar in mosquitoes that allows the malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, to attach itself to the mosquito's gut.   view more (2007-09-11)

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)

PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative announces partnership to develop novel malaria vaccine
In a move that promises to expand the types of malaria vaccine candidates in clinical development, the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI) today announced a new partnership with Sanaria Inc., a Maryland company, to accelerate development of a unique malaria vaccine candidate.   view more (2006-12-18)

Malaria vaccine prompts victims' immune system to eliminate parasite from mosquitoes
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have developed an experimental vaccine that could, theoretically, eliminate malaria from entire geographic regions, by eradicating the malaria parasite from an area's mosquitoes.   view more (2006-12-19)

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)

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)

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.   view more (2007-11-09)

Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers have evidence a vaccine against malaria will reduce infection and disease rates
Today, researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine's Center for Global Health & Diseases published data potentially having a strong effect on the three billion people exposed to malaria every year.   view more (2007-12-21)

Researchers identify new way the malaria parasite and red blood cells interact
Virginia Commonwealth University Life Sciences researchers have discovered a new mechanism the malaria parasite uses to enter human red blood cells, which could lead to the development of a vaccine cocktail to fight the mosquito-borne disease.   view more (2009-03-11)

Painless 'microneedle' patch may take the sting out of shots
Good news for people fearful of needles and squeamish of shots: Scientists at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society report the design of a painless patch that may someday render hypodermic needles - as well as annual flu shots - a thing of the past.   view more (2009-08-19)

Study holds promise for new way to fight HIV
Researchers have confirmed for the first time the benefit of an innate defense system present in the few patients who remain healthy after years of infection with HIV despite receiving no treatment, according to an article published in the September edition of the Journal of Virology.   view more (2005-09-02)
