Could mosquitoes deliver vaccines against malaria?

Al Jazeera  

Scientists have engineered the pests to provide enhanced immunity to the disease they transmit, according to a new study. Their scientists say they have successfully engineered mosquitoes to deliver vaccines that could potentially provide significantly enhanced immunity against malaria. In the clinical trial, the research team used mosquitoes carrying the modified parasite to deliver the vaccine via bites, mirroring the …

JNU scientists develop new vaccine candidate to battle malaria

India Today  

A team of scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru University has identified a promising vaccine candidate that could pave the way for more effective prevention and treatment strategies against malaria. The research, led by Prof. Shailja Singh and Prof. Anand Ranganathan at the Special Centre for Molecular Medicine, JNU, has identified a novel host-parasite interacting complex that could be the key to …

JNU researchers identify potential 'wonder drug' to control Malaria

India Today  

In a significant breakthrough in the battle against malaria, researchers have identified Nitrofurantoin, a common antibacterial drug, as a potential candidate for repurposing to treat the deadly disease. Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, poses a significant public health threat, especially in India. The World Health Organization reported an estimated 247 million cases of infections from Plasmodium …

Scientists engineer mosquitoes that can't spread malaria

The Hindu  

Scientists have genetically modified mosquitoes with the ability to slow the growth of malaria-causing parasites in their gut, an advance that can help prevent transmission of the disease to humans. "Delaying the parasite's growth in the mosquito has opened many more opportunities to block malaria transmission from mosquitoes to humans," said study co-first author, Astrid Hoermann. "Gene drive is one …

Scientists Map Out Immune Cells in Mosquitoes to Find Out How They Fight off Malaria

News 18  

Scientists have created the first full map of mosquito immune cells and found a new type of cell that could have a role in how mosquitos are able to fight off malaria. The findings, published in the journal Science, could help scientists uncover new ways of preventing mosquitos from spreading the malaria parasite to people and break the chain of …
