While mosquito-killing chemical pesticides have been the most effective weapons against malaria to date, the insects have developed significant resistance to these compounds. New antimalarial ...

An experimental bacteria-derived biopesticide is highly effective in killing malaria-carrying mosquitoes, including those that have developed resistance to chemical pesticides, according to initial ...

Scientists have developed a new vaccination strategy for malaria — boosting immunity through bites from mosquitoes carrying a genetically engineered version of the parasite that causes malaria.

Mosquitoes are normally associated with spreading malaria rather than preventing it, but in a new study scientists have used the insects to administer a promising new vaccine that could offer much ...

An experimental bacteria-derived biopesticide is highly effective in killing malaria-carrying mosquitoes, including those that have developed resistance to chemical pesticides, according to ...

The spread of a mosquito in East Africa that thrives in urban areas and is immune to insecticide is fueling a surge in malaria that could reverse decades of progress against the disease ...

Nov. 28, 2024 — Researchers analyzed the genomes of hundreds of malaria parasites to determine which genetic variants are most likely to confer drug ...

An experimental bacteria-derived biopesticide is highly effective in killing malaria-carrying mosquitoes, including those that have developed resistance to chemical pesticides, according to initial ...

The mathematical model developed by Target Malaria demonstrates that gene drive mosquitoes could significantly boost malaria control when used in combination with new bed net products and vaccines ...

Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium falciparum, which spreads through the bite of a mosquito. The World Health Organization's (WHO) 'gold standard' treatment involves the use of a ...
