Scientists dream of beating malaria by editing disease-carrying mosquitoes' DNA. Could it work?
Scientists have long dreamed of quashing mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, which alone kills more than 608,000 people per year. Their inventions – notably insecticide-treated bed nets – have ...
Scientists have determined the complete genetic codes of the single-cell parasite that causes malaria and of the mosquito that transmits it to people, a feat they said would allow them to launch a ...
Houston Methodist researchers have discovered a set of immune proteins that facilitate long-lasting immunity against malaria. In a study recently published in Immunity (online Oct. 25), researchers ...
Sequencing hundreds of Anopheles funestus mosquitoes provides new insights into the evolutionary patterns of this important human malaria-transmitting species. New research into the genetics of ...
