Sequencing Analysis Traces Origins of Malaria-Causing Parasite to Southeast Asia
Plasmodium vivax likely spread from Southeast Asia through a series of founder events, in contrast to a proposed out-of-Africa scenario.
Researchers are hoping to make the technology a success for the environment and human health while avoiding the biases that resulted from the debate over GMOs.
Malaria Parasites in Dry and Wet Season Exhibit Different Gene Transcription Profiles
The findings gave insight into how Plasmodium falciparum persists as a subclinical infection during the dry season, when there are no mosquitoes to transmit it.
The diagnostics are capable of detecting fewer than two parasites per microliter of blood and would cost an estimated $.61 per test.
Transcriptional Signatures May Identify Whether Malaria Vaccines Are Effective
Researchers uncovered gene expression signatures that can predict whether someone may be protected by a malaria vaccine even before it is given.
