Malaria is caused in humans by five species of single-celled eukaryotic Plasmodium parasites (mainly Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax) that are transmitted by the bite of Anopheles spp. mosquitoes. Malaria remains one of the most serious infectious diseases; it threatens nearly half of the...
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by eukaryotic protists of the genus Plasmodium. The disease results from the multiplication of Plasmodium parasites within red blood cells, causing symptoms that typically include fever and headache, in severe cases ...
A retrospective and descriptive study of cases of malaria confirmed and treated by the Paediatric Infectious Diseases Unit (age lower than 15 years) at the La Fe Hospital, Valencia, over the period 1993–2015. Results A total of 54 cases of paediatric malaria were diagnosed in the period 1993...

New study links climate change to malaria increase in northern Kenya Malaria, spread by Anopheles mosquitoes, is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. In Kenya, malaria remains a major health challenge, particularly for children under the age of five years. With over 5 million cases .....

fieldi. A previous study conducted in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, however revealed that long-tailed macaques could potentially harbour novel species of Plasmodium based on sequences of small subunit ribosomal RNA and circumsporozoite genes. To further validate this finding, the mitochondrial genome and ...
Since 2010, several recurrent cases have been reported for many years [16,17,18,19,20], and there was a small outbreak of P. malariae infections in 2015 [21]. Furthermore, it is challenging to correctly diagnose malaria cases caused by the relatively rare Plasmodium species such as P. ...
Using various infection models, this study demonstrates antibodies against the mosquito protein mosGILT reduces the number of malaria parasites in the midgut of the mosquito as well as the ability of the mosquito to become infected with the parasite. ...
