Electron microscope images of malaria parasites (blue) generated by Associate Professor Eric Hanssen, University of Melbourne, Australia, and chemical structure of artemisinin.

What am I looking at? This is a colored scanning electron microscopy image of a human red blood cell infected with the parasite that causes malaria. The infected cell is blue (1), and the uninfected ...

Under the microscope a malaria parasite can actually be seen literally crawling inside of people’s red blood cells. In order to survive, the malaria parasite has to break down a part of the red blood ...

has uncovered the critical role of NEK1 in the malaria parasite’s cell division. Using advanced techniques like live-cell imaging and electron microscopy, the team demonstrated that NEK1 ...

An curved arrow pointing right. New technology that transforms a cell phone into a mobile polarized microscope can diagnose malaria in a Rwandan village with the same level of accuracy as a high ...

In November 1880, he trained a light microscope with a maximum magnification of 400x on a drop of fresh blood from a malaria patient. Inside the red blood cells, he saw round, pigment-filled moving ...

Prompt recognition and treatment of malaria infections (symptomatic and asymptomatic) are necessary to prevent maternal anemia and LBW. Microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are currently ...

A pocket-sized microscope that may prove useful for diagnosing diseases like malaria in the developing world has been developed by researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

As the researchers explained in a meeting news release, the advent of artemisinin therapies two decades ago revolutionized malaria care. Plasmodium falciparum, the microscopic parasite that causes ...

With malaria being one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, prompt and effective treatment is essential to reduce the malaria burden. As there are several treatment ...

Furthermore, there are different types of malaria diagnostics available in the market, which include rapid diagnostic tests, microscopy, and molecular diagnostic tests. In addition, these tests are ...
