A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite ...

Malaria is an insidious disease, often slipping past our best defenses and killing an estimated 600,000 people a year around the world − 75 percent of whom are children barely five years old. Stopping ...

That’s how dire I see the situation.” The spread of drug-resistant malaria from Southeast Asia to Africa has happened before, when resistance to chloroquine, an earlier malarial drug, first appeared ...

Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT)—a treatment regimen consisting of a fast-acting artemisinin derivative and a slower acting partner drug—is relied on for the treatment of uncomplicated ...

Parasites resistant to the frontline malaria drug have spread westward from Southeast Asia to just short of the Indian border -- a gateway to Africa, researchers warned Friday.

''“Anopheles stephensi is a major malaria vector mosquito in urban areas of South Asia and has recently invaded the horn of Africa. It is predicted to become a major urban malaria vector in Africa, ...

Resistance to artemisinin, the main component of the current antimalarial treatments recommended by WHO, is already widespread in South-East Asia, but it had not previously been described in Africa.

Resistance to artemisinin, the main component of the current antimalarial treatments recommended by WHO, is already widespread in South-East Asia, but it had not previously been described in Africa.

There is precedent for this. In the 1960s, a strain of malaria that developed in southeast Asia became resistant to the then-commonly-used drug chloroquine and eventually spread to sub-Saharan Africa.

Two recent studies have found that the presence of drug-resistant strains of malaria is on the rise in southeast Asia. The research has provoked alarm among scientists who are leading the fight ...

Further, 74% of resistant parasite samples from Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam between 2015 and 2018 carried crt mutations associated with piperaquine resistance, compared with 5% between 2011 and ...

Malaria can be treated with medicines if caught early enough, but evolving drug-resistance – such as the spread of chloroquine-resistant malaria across Asia to Africa from the late 1950s to the ...
