Malaria remains a deadly parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium, claiming almost half a
million lives every year. While parasite genetics and biology are often the major targets in …

Malaria, which is a major infectious disease worldwide, is caused by the Plasmodium
parasite, one of the longest-known parasites infecting humans. The malaria situation is …

Malaria is a disease that infects over 500 million people, causing at least 1 million deaths
every year, with the majority occurring in developing countries. The current antimalarial …

Recent advances in genetics and systems biology technologies have promoted our
understanding of the biology of malaria parasites on the molecular level. However, effective …

Malaria parasite infection continues to inflict extensive morbidity and mortality in resource-
poor countries. The insufficiently understood parasite biology, continuously evolving drug …

Malaria imposes a horrific public health burden–hundreds of millions of infections and
millions of deaths–on large parts of the world. While this unacceptable health burden and its …

Background Over the last 6 decades, rodent Plasmodium species have become key model
systems for understanding the basic biology of malaria parasites. Cell and molecular …

Malaria is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This disease, which
primarily affects those living in tropical and subtropical regions, is caused by infection with …

Malaria has been invoked, perhaps more than any other infectious disease, as a force for
the selection of human genetic polymorphisms. Evidence for genome-shaping interactions …

There is growing evidence for human genetic factors controlling the outcome of malaria
infection, while molecular basis of this genetic control is still poorly understood. Case-control …
