@vaccinologist.bsky.socialResearchers at the University of South Florida @usf.edu identified a vulnerable site that #antibodies can target to block liver-cell invasion - preventing #infection before hypnozoites are established. Important advance vs. one of #malaria’s most difficult parasites. lnkd.in/p/exmyCQ8G

@mmv.orgWhen resources are under pressure, innovation becomes even more important.
Drug and insecticide resistance, climate change and conflict threaten #malaria progress.
New tools can keep us ahead of resistance, simplify care & make the most of limited resources bit.ly/4xCEkwB

@ecoavant.bsky.socialLa malaria ha bajado y el dengue ha subido en un siglo de calentamiento global. Control de mosquitos, tratamientos y urbanización ayudan a explicarlo, según una revisión en Science Advances. #malaria #dengue #cambioclimático

@mmv.orgThere are places we expect #malaria transmission. Germany isn't one of them.
Cases have appeared near Frankfurt Airport. As temps rise, transmission conditions are changing.
A reminder that reducing malaria everywhere strengthens global health security. bit.ly/3VVJBSL

@omni-letters.bsky.socialPesquisadores da USP revelaram que compostos de medicamentos anticâncer podem ser eficazes contra a malária, atacando diferentes fases do parasita Plasmodium falciparum, conforme estudo publicado na revista ACS Omega.

@frontierresearch.coWhy do whole-sporozoite malaria vaccines protect so well? In rodent models, sterilizing immunity required the parasites to migrate through several host cells before infecting the liver. Without that, vaccination failed to induce protective liver-resident memory CD8 T cell responses.

@mmv.orgWhat keeps progress against #malaria moving?
In Liverpool, @malarianomoreuk.bsky.social ambassador Gab Astorga put that question to malaria scientists & global health experts.
