The emergence of drug-resistant parasites thwarts efforts to control human malaria. How can we understand the mechanism of drug-resistance evolution and build a strategy to delay it? So far ...

We explore parasites not just because they’re an essential part of their ecosystems, but also because by studying them we can learn more about their hosts and even their shared evolution and ...

parasite evolution, and the efficacy of proposed management strategies. We are interested in applying methods from community ecology to study the process of disease in complex assemblages of hosts and ...

Set within a city where parasites rage, the parasites settled into their human hosts and increases their power and sexual desires. Dr. Suzune is a parasite expert who works daily to kill the ...

It illustrates balanced polymorphism because carriers are resistant to malaria, an infection by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum that causes cycles of chills and fever. The parasite spends the ...

Parasites that cause the deadly illness known as sleeping sickness can spread beyond their native Africa as a result of mutations to key genes, a study shows. The findings reveal that climate ...
