An international team of researchers has harnessed the potential of AI-powered technology to detect the presence of malaria parasites in returning travelers. As the World Health Organization advocates ...

State-of-the-art video microscopy has enabled researchers at WEHI, Australia, to see the molecular details of how malaria parasites invade red blood cells - a key step in the disease. The researchers ...

Scientists have detected new strains of malaria-causing parasites in Ethiopia that are both resistant to current treatments and escape detection by common diagnostic tests - a development that could ...

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 ...

Malaria symptoms occur once the parasite's asexual stages begin replicating inside red blood cells. However, these asexual forms must transform into male and female stages called gametocytes in order ...

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 ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body's immune system, sometimes for years. It turns ...

Light microscope image of red blood cells infected with malaria. The dark purple spots in a few of the cells are malaria parasites. Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, ...

When health officials are trying to control a disease outbreak, diagnostic tests can be a crucial tool that provides information about the spread of infection, and might help them to reduce or prevent ...
