The parasites responsible for malaria seem to march to their own beat. The mystery behind the molecular basis of how these parasites synch their rhythm in replication to the host's clock-driven ...

In a finding that could significantly enhance scientists’ ability to develop and test drugs and vaccines to treat the most common and lethal form of malaria, a UCSF team has identified the full ...

Transmitted through infected mosquitos, the malaria parasite, once in the human bloodstream, synchronously ruptures red blood cells and rapidly infects new red blood cells, beginning the cycle anew.
