The first new malaria treatment in decades holds promise against rising drug resistance after Swiss drugmaker Novartis announced it was as effective at treating the disease as established treatments.

Over 600,000 people worldwide die from mosquito-borne malaria each year, with the majority of these deaths happening among children under 5. Now, there's troubling news that the malaria parasite may ...

How malaria parasites evolved to evade a major antimalarial drug has long been thought to involve only one key gene. Now, thanks to a combination of field and lab studies, an international research ...

Collaborating researchers have discovered a link between malaria parasites' ability to develop resistance to antimalarial drugs—specifically artemisinin (ART)—through a cellular process called ...

Researchers analyzed the genomes of hundreds of malaria parasites to determine which genetic variants are most likely to confer drug resistance. Researchers at University of California San Diego ...

Although the incidence of malaria fell by nearly a quarter between 2000 and 2015, the trend has reversed over the past decade, with global incidence rising by 8.5% since 2015. Experts say the growing ...
