"Cracking Malaria's Code: Scientists Unravel Parasite's Hidden Defense"

Scientists have unraveled the hidden defenses of the malaria-causing parasite, crucial for combating the disease that claims over half a million lives annually, particularly in Africa.

• The research focused on the mechanisms of Parasitism in Plasmodium falciparum, revealing how the parasite withstands attacks from the human Immune system and antimalarial medications.
• Findings highlighted the role of specific Protein structures that enable the malaria parasite to endure high Fever and immune responses during Infection in the human body.
• This discovery is pivotal for developing new treatments against Malaria, especially in Africa, where the disease remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity.
