A large LSTM-led trial confirms new antimalarial, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine, is more effective at preventing malaria than current WHO recommended treatment but does not improve adverse birth outcomes. A large multi-country trial of 4680 women in sub-Sahara Africa, looking at new antimalarial…
Scientists recently discovered a new species of mosquito that could spread malaria faster in Kenya. The species, named Anopheles stephensi, was reportedly discovered by a team of researchers at Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri), alongside the Ministry of Health’s Division…
In the body, crystals – made of things such as calcium or a collection of urine – form masses that can cause pain and serious health conditions. A University of Houston crystals expert, Jeffrey Rimer, Abraham E. Dukler Professor of…
Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, the CNRS and the Collège de France have used paleogenomics to trace 10,000 years of human immune system evolution. They analyzed the genomes of more than 2,800 individuals who lived in Europe…
We are at the halfway point from when we set our ambitious sustainable development goal 3 (SDG3) for good health and well-being by 2030. While many agree we were making progress towards this goal, no one could have foreseen that…
A paper published in The Lancet Global Health journal is sounding the alarm about the growing threat of malaria potentially spreading to countries where the disease is not typically endemic. ((22)00454-5/fulltext) The rapid increase in the population of an invasive species of mosquito Anopheles Stephensi across…
A new antimalarial drug is being introduced at a dose that is too low to be effective for all patients who need it, according to a report published today in eLife. The study suggests that the current 300 mg adult…
A recent study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal describes the genetic epidemiology and dynamics of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum responsible for malaria outbreaks in Attapeu Province, Laos, during the 2020-2021 malaria season. Study: Malaria outbreak in Laos driven by a selective…
Malaria is a devastating disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. After an infected mosquitos’ bite, the parasites travel to the liver and infect liver cells. This phase of the infection is asymptomatic. Now, a new study led by Maria M.…

A new study has linked an invasive insecticide-resistant mosquito native to South Asia to an unprecedented urban outbreak of malaria in Ethiopia, the most compelling evidence to date that the mosquito, which is fast expanding its range, could cause infections…
