The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, however, is an entirely more challenging pathogen because it is such a large and complex organism compared to a virus. At the Proteo-Science Center at ...

The emergence of drug-resistant parasites thwarts efforts to control human malaria. How can we understand ... and the evolutionary genetic structure of resistance (e.g., the number and fitness ...

Comprehensive genetic mapping of Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite that causes malaria, has revealed the genes required for malaria infection of the blood, and those driving drug resistance.

When an infected mosquito bites a person, the malaria parasite is passed into the human bloodstream, infecting them. Mosquitoes in turn can pick up the parasite from an infected human and then ...

Now, in a study published Friday (July 15) in Cell Metabolism, researchers describe the complicated tug-of-war between host and parasite that appears to explain malaria-associated hypoglycemia.

And yet, there are similarities. Malaria is caused by a parasite, usually found in tropical regions, that infects humans after they have been bitten by a mosquito. This parasite is transmitted ...

Unlike typical eukaryotic cells, the malaria parasite lacks conventional centrosomes during most stages, instead relying on a bipartite MTOC. This structure consists of a cytoplasmic component and ...
