TREATING CATTLE WITH INSECTICIDE - A NEW APPROACH FOR MALARIA CONTROL IN SOUTH ASIA (p 1837)
Insecticide treatment of livestock could be a new, cost-effective malaria-control strategy in south Asia, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Indoor spraying of houses with insecticide - the standard method of malaria control in south Asia - is becoming prohibitively expensive to implement and new approaches are... view more...

Safer Method for Large-Scale Malaria Screening Developed
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Malaria Research Institute have developed a new test for detecting the malaria parasite in human urine and saliva. view more (2006-11-21)
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)
Scientists demonstrate feasibility of preventing malaria parasite from becoming sexually mature
Researchers have demonstrated the possibility of preventing the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for more than a million malaria deaths a year, from becoming sexually mature. view more (2008-06-03)
Malaria: Efficacy of monotherapies in Cameroon
Malaria, which affects about 600 millions people in the world, is the most widespread of the transmissible parasitic diseases. The causative agent is a microscopic parasite of the genus Plasmodium. view more (2006-10-16)
Individualized strategies needed for prevention of malaria in long-term travelers
Prevention of malaria for persons who travel for more than 6 months is complex and should be individualized, with advice from travel medicine specialists. view more (2006-11-08)
Studies identify more effective treatment for malaria control during pregnancy in Africa
A review of previous studies indicates that two doses of a malaria preventive therapy during pregnancy provides substantial benefit to HIV-negative women in Africa, with more frequent dosing apparently necessary for HIV-positive women. view more (2007-06-20)
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)
New malaria vector species discovered in Africa
Malaria affects around 600 million people in the world and leads to an annual death toll of over 2 million. It is the world's most widespread parasitic disease. It is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, a pathogen transmitted to humans by a mosquito. In Africa, where malaria is endemic, mosquitoes of the Anopheles genus are the only vectors of the... view more... (2004-09-16)
Discovery in plant virus may help prevent HIV and similar viruses
In a study that could lead to new ways to prevent infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and similar organisms, Purdue University researchers have been able to genetically modify a plant to halt reproduction of a related virus. view more (2007-08-01)
First global malaria map in decades shows reduced risk
About 35 percent of the world's population is at risk of contracting deadly malaria, but many people are at a lower risk than previously thought, raising hope that the disease could be seriously reduced or eliminated in parts of the world. view more (2008-02-26)
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)
Smokers may be at greater risk of HIV infection
Smokers may be at greater risk of HIV infection than non-smokers, reveals an analysis of published research issued ahead of print in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2006-09-21)
SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. view more (2005-12-22)
HIV-1's high virulence might be an accident of evolution
The virulence characteristic of HIV-1—the virus predominantly responsible for human AIDS—might amount to an accident of evolution, new evidence reveals. view more (2006-06-16)
Sweat may pass on hepatitis B in contact sports
Sweat may be another way to pass on hepatitis B infection during contact sports, suggests research published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2007-03-02)
Scientists learn more about how viruses reproduce, spread
Biochemists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a surprising discovery about the inner workings of a powerful virus - a discovery that they hope could one day lead to better vaccines or anti-virus medications. view more (2006-04-07)
Species evolve to the brink of evolution
A biologist at The University of Texas at Austin has presented a new theory that sheds light on how organisms, including viruses like HIV, rapidly evolve in the face of vaccines and antibiotics. view more (2005-08-29)
Metal-containing compounds show promise as HIV weapon
A molecule consisting of two "cages" of metallic atoms bound to carbon has shown great promise in preliminary tests of becoming a new weapon in the anti-HIV arsenal, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. view more (2005-11-01)
Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
