A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated. The map contains the most ...

The frequency of anemia following malaria treatment varies depending on the severity of the initial infection, the patient's ...

Engineered Plasmodium parasites form the basis of two experimental malaria vaccines that showed safety and encouraging immune responses in clinical trials. Two studies show that Plasmodium—the genus ...

Anopheles freeborni, A. balabacensis balabacensis, A. atroparvus, A. stephensi, and A. maculatus mosquitoes were infected by feeding on 12 Aotus trivirgatus monkeys infected with a Nigerian strain of ...
