Carlton uses tools of comparative genomics to study the biology and evolution of different species of parasites, with the goal of eradicating malaria
This shift may be linked to deforestation, increased rice cultivation and widespread use of mosquito nets.
100-year-old mystery of how malaria affects brain solved by Indian scientists-led team; read details PTI New Delhi: Using brain imaging techniques, scientists, including those from The Center for the Study of Complex Malaria in Odisha, have unravelled the century old mystery of how malaria affects the brain, an advance which reveals how the deadly disease causes different outcomes in adults and children. According to the researchers, cerebral malaria is a severe, life-threatening complication of infection with the Plasmodium falciparum parasite that can infect humans through the...
E-Mail Scientists have shown for the first time that cerebral malaria causes death in adults by triggering oxygen-deprivation in the brain, in new research published in Clinical Infectious Diseases. Already available treatments, such as hypothermia, may slow brain oxygen-deprivation in cerebral malaria patients. The researchers say these neuronal survival-enhancing approaches could soon be trialled in adults with cerebral malaria, alongside existing anti-malarial treatments, to hopefully improve survival. In 2019, there were an estimated 229 million cases of malaria worldwide. The estimate...
