New synthetic skin to study mosquito feeding behavior

One by one, mosquitoes are captured by a handheld vacuum and released into a clear plastic box. After taking a moment to adjust to their new surroundings, the mosquitoes smell blood and swarm to the source.

Multi-country study examines clinical and community antibiotic use during the pandemic

Globally, during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, antibiotics were prescribed to 75 percent of COVID-19 patients despite bacterial coinfection rates averaging less than 10 percent.

New method can control the growth of a substance known to cause kidney stones in dolphins

In the body, crystals – made of things such as calcium or a collection of urine – form masses that can cause pain and serious health conditions.

Novel class of sulfonamides to block malaria transmission

Malaria is a devastating disease, with 247 million cases and 619,000 deaths reported in 2021 alone. Malaria causes fever and a flu-like illness that occurs when people are infected with the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which is spread by mosquitoes.

Researchers develop scale to assess antibiotic resistance awareness among healthcare professionals

Researchers developed an antibiotic resistance (ABR) awareness scale to assess ABR awareness among human healthcare professionals (HHCPs) and animal healthcare professionals (AHCPs).

Scientists use paleogenomics to trace 10,000 years of human immune system evolution

Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, the CNRS and the Collège de France have used paleogenomics to trace 10,000 years of human immune system evolution.

MALAT1 suppression is a hallmark of tissue and peripheral proliferative T cells in COVID-19

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United Kingdom investigated lncRNA (long non-coding ribonucleic acids) expression in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) T lymphocyte transcriptomes.

Study demonstrates safety and efficacy of a three-dose whole-parasite vaccine against malaria

A three-dose regimen of a whole-parasite vaccine against malaria – called Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite (PfSPZ) vaccine – demonstrated safety and efficacy when tested in adults living in Burkina Faso, West Africa, which has endemic malaria.

Diagnostic technologies in Asia Pacific are key to progress toward health-related SDGs

We are at the halfway point from when we set our ambitious sustainable development goal 3 (SDG3) for good health and well-being by 2030.

Modulation of insect immunity to control vector-borne diseases

Discussed the current research on the role of molecular mechanisms in mediating immune priming in insects and regulating vector-borne disease transmission.

19 Dec 2022

Study examines both the exterior surface and interior microbiome of mosquitoes

Avoiding mosquitoes to protect against bites is always a good idea. But a new North Carolina State University study shows that the bacteria-ridden exteriors of mosquitoes may be another reason to arm yourself with a swatter.

Research may pave the way for new antibiotics to treat high bacterial density infections

Antibiotic resistant bacteria pose of the greatest threats to global public health. In 2019, deaths due to antibiotic resistant bacteria outpaced deaths due to HIV and malaria.

Rapid, non-invasive detection tool could help accelerate progress in eliminating malaria

A quick, affordable, non-invasive detection tool could help accelerate progress in meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals' target to eliminate malaria, say researchers who developed it.

16 Dec 2022

Scientists report the in vitro production of infectious Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites

Scientists from Sanaria Inc., and collaborators at multiple institutions publish results in Nature reporting "In vitro production of infectious Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites."

Lancet Global Health paper raises alarm about the growing threat of malaria

A paper published in The Lancet Global Health journal is sounding the alarm about the growing threat of malaria potentially spreading to countries where the disease is not typically endemic.

7 Dec 2022

Higher dose of new antimalarial drug reduces disease recurrence by 85%

A new antimalarial drug is being introduced at a dose that is too low to be effective for all patients who need it, according to a report published today in eLife.

Two experimental mRNA vaccines highly effective in reducing malaria infection and transmission

Malaria is found in more than 90 countries around the world, causing 241 million cases and an estimated 627,000 deaths every year.

1 Dec 2022

CSU engineers introduce a better way to perform mosquito-tracking for disease applications

West Nile, Zika, dengue and malaria are all diseases spread by bites from infected mosquitoes. To track the threat of such diseases over large populations, scientists need to know where the mosquitoes are, where they've been, and where they might go.
