Plasmodium Falciparum articles

Genes identified causing antimalarial drug resistance
Using a pair of powerful genome-search techniques, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), Harvard University, and the Broad Institute have identified several genes that may be implicated in the malaria parasite's notorious ability to rapidly evade drug treatments.

125.2 million pregnant women at risk of malaria
Research published this week in PLoS Medicine concludes that at least 125.2 million women at risk of malaria become pregnant each year.

Promising candidates for malaria vaccine revealed
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers have uncovered a group of proteins that could form the basis of an effective vaccine against malaria.

Artemisinin based anti malarial drugs becoming resistant to malaria
Malaria parasites in western Cambodia have become resistant to artemisinin based therapies, the first-line treatment for malaria, revealed by researchers.

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.

Malarial parasite plasmodium vivax more serious
Plasmodium vivax can cause severe malaria associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, show two studies published in PLoS Medicine this week. These findings challenge the current dogma that P. falciparum can be severe and life-threatening whereas Plasmodium vivax tends to be mild, according to the related commentary by Stephen Rogerson (University of Melbourne, Australia), an expert not connected with these studies.
