Over a 100 people die every year from the disease in the seven northeastern States

A new paper uses climate model downscaling to investigate how the spread of malaria will change in a warming world

Parasites infected with malaria can hide inside the bone marrow and evade the body's defences, research confirms.

The discovery could lead to new drugs or vaccines to block transmission.

Pune: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has issued notices to five construction houses for not following sanitation norms, thereby providing breeding ground for mosquitoes responsible for spread

From dogs to balloons, researchers are using unorthodox ways to find out where malaria vectors hide during a long dry season.

Hospitals across the city have reported an increase in vector-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria and other monsoon-related diseases like viral fever, common flu, eye and stomach infection th

Fourteen years ago, the Millennium Declaration articulated a bold vision and established concrete targets for improving the existence of many and for saving the lives of those threatened by disease and hunger. There

Pimpri Chinchwad recorded as many as 20 malaria cases and 37 dengue cases from January to June this year.

Malaria may alter the way people smell to make them more alluring to mosquitoes, according to a new finding that can help detect the deadly disease non-invasively through body odour.

The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports several hundred proteins into the infected erythrocyte that are involved in cellular remodeling and severe virulence. The export mechanism involves the Plasmodium export element (PEXEL), which is a cleavage site for the parasite protease, Plasmepsin V (PMV). The PMV gene is refractory to deletion, suggesting it is essential, but definitive proof is lacking. Here, we generated a PEXEL-mimetic inhibitor that potently blocks the activity of PMV isolated from P. falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Assessment of PMV activity in P.
