Cenix BioScience GmbH, a leading specialist in advanced RNA interference (RNAi)-based research services, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, and the Lisbon-based biomedical research centre Instituto de Medicina Molecular (IMM), have announced the publication of their collaborative study in Cell Host & Microbe, describing the discovery and in vivo validation of scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), a major regulator of cholesterol uptake by the liver, as a critical host factor for malaria infection. 
Genetic Variant Raises HIV Risk

There's no doubt Africans have borne the brunt of the AIDS epidemic. Now researchers in London and Texas say it may have something to do with a single gene variant that could account for 11%, or about 2.5 million, of Africa's HIV cases.

Battling malaria for millennia helped Africans build barriers against the parasite that causes it, but that defense has proven to be a double-edged sword for HIV infection. One protein, the Duffy antigen receptor for cytokines, protects against malaria by making the individual more susceptible to contracting HIV. However, those same individuals do live longer once infected.

Most people in hot places--or even just hot weather--are troubled by mosquitos. What is an annoyance in some parts of the world, however, can be fatal in others. In this stuty, the scientists point out that it is necessary to search for more effective repellents, one of which is introduced in this article, lasting a record 85 days!

Mosquitoes can carry many blood-borne diseases, like malaria and yellow fever. This study follows the introduction of: bed nets designed to stop mosquitoes in their tracks, which are undergoing large-scale trials in India and Tanzania.
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency and Malaria

Malaria that is caused by Plasmodium falciparum is a significant global health problem. Genetic characteristics of the host influence the severity of disease and the ultimate outcome of infection, and there is evidence of coevolution of the plasmodium parasite with its host. In humans, pyruvate kinase deficiency is the second most common erythrocyte enzyme disorder. Here, they show that pyruvate kinase deficiency provides protection against infection and replication of P

Researchers in Colombia describe a new strategy for designing the next generation of synthetic vaccines that could lead to more effective treatments for fighting malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS and other infectious diseases. These conditions kill more than 17 million people around the world each year.
How sperm and egg fuse into one could have applications in antiparasitics

How do sperm and egg fuse into one? A protein called HAP2 is involved with the fusion of egg and sperm in a wide range of species. This fusion protein could be targeted to stop parasites from reproducing.

Researchers announced today that they are building a new facility dedicated to finding an effective vaccine against malaria, a potentially deadly disease spread by mosquitoes that annually strikes some 500 million worldwide and kills as many as one million people, mostly children in Africa.

How many people contract malaria? Which places are hardest hit? Has incidence or mortality been cut much in the past decades? Which has been more successful: prevention or treatment? How do you prevent malaria infections? What about making genetically modified mosquitoes that can't carry the disease?

Zambia sees nearly four million cases of malaria diagnosed each year, and some 50,000 deaths, mostly among children. Two years ago, its Ministry of Health embarked on an ambitious plan to cut the incidence of malaria by 75%. They developed a efficient strategy which may spread in their neighbor countries successfully.

Malaria map brings good news: 1 billion of them live in zones where transmission is so low that the disease should be easy to bring under control, or even eradicate.
Criminals hawk fake malaria drugs
Sue Wu submitted, created time 10 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
Malaria is still a major problem in developing countries. Fortunately, there are many brand-name and generic drugs that can ease symptoms and save lives. Unfortunately, these drugs aren't always easy to get to the people who need them. Also unfortunately, there are people willing to take advantage of and money from the sick and their relatives.
Still, drug enforcement agents managed to track down some of the counterfeiters. You will never guess how they did it!
WHO reports that anti-malaria efforts are working
