Plasmodium

Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja on Thursday informed that a new genus of malaria called ''plasmodium ovale'' has been detected in the state.

A new malaria vaccine has been found to generate robust immune response although it could not altogether prevent infection, according to a first of its kind in-human study.

Malaria parasites cause an inflammatory reaction that sabotages our body's ability to protect itself against the deadly disease, scientists have found for the first time.

A surprising factor may be contributing to the spread of malaria in Malaysia, new research has found. In a new study, published Friday in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, scientists argue that deforestation is causing environmental changes that have upped transmission of a form of the infectious disease usually found only in monkeys.

Deforestation in Malaysia and the changes it causes to the environment are highly likely to be to blame for a steep rise in human cases of a type of malaria usually found in monkeys, scientists said on Thursday.

Every year, over 210 million people are infected by malaria. With no vaccine found till date, half a million people die of the disease annually.

The company has received approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) to manufacture and market SynriamTM in India for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in adults caused by Plasmodium vivax parasite, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd said in a statement.
