In a recent study published in The Lancet Global Health, researchers conducted a systematic review to describe the epidemiology of submicroscopic and microscopic malaria infections during pregnancy.

Every cell of the deadly Plasmodium falciparum parasite, the organism that causes malaria, contains a tiny compartment full of microscopic iron crystals. As long as the parasite is alive, the crystals ...

Using millions of microscope images magnified up to 130,000 times, researchers from Radboud University Medical Center and Toronto have unraveled the structure of two key proteins in the malaria ...

Under the microscope, blood from a victim of malaria is as vivid as a southern sunset. In mild malaria, the red blood cells appear speckled with pink. In violent forms of the disease, the corpuscles ...

The application of deep learning techniques in malaria parasite detection represents a transformative leap in diagnostic methodologies. By automating the analysis of blood smear and other medical ...

Research could pave the way to new anti-malarials that work by “jet-lagging” the parasites that cause the disease. DURHAM, N.C. -- Health officials warn that drug resistance could wipe out recent ...

video: A proof-of-concept clinical trial shows that genetic engineering of the malaria parasite by the precise removal of three genes (called GAP3KO) creates a parasite strain that infects humans, but ...
