A genomic surveillance study has shed new light on how an invasive urban malaria mosquito species spread from Asia to Africa, potentially threatening public health across a rapidly urbanizing ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell recently published a study in Nature Microbiology that highlights the newly discovered intricacies of the malaria transmission cycle. The results of their study could have ...

For years, climate scientists have cautioned that the warming world could create conditions where animals, insects and other creatures would establish themselves in places they had not been found ...

When a small number of cases of locally transmitted malaria were found in the United States last year, it was a reminder that climate change is reviving or migrating the threat of some diseases. But ...

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite that spreads from bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. If left untreated in humans, malaria can cause severe symptoms, health ...

The fever experienced by people with malaria exposes parasites to high temperatures within blood cells. This heat can lead to ...

A new model for predicting the effects of climate change on malaria transmission in Africa could lead to more targeted interventions to control the disease according to a new study. Previous methods ...

Transfusion-transmitted malaria is a rare but serious risk in both endemic and non-endemic regions, arising when Plasmodium spp. in donated blood bypasses pre-erythrocytic host defences. Prevention ...

Individuals requiring blood transfusion are a vulnerable population, often with debilitating conditions like cancer, and transfusion-transmitted malaria is often fatal. Current serological tests used ...

A New Jersey resident has developed a case of malaria without having traveled internationally, potentially making it the first locally transmitted case in decades, state health officials say. The ...
