UoH research team’s novel findings published in a reputed journal
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum transmitted among humans through bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It continues to be a serious threat to mankind due to failure in curbing the disease. Lack of an effective vaccine, development of resistant parasites to all the available anti-malarial drugs, and emergence of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes are the major impediments in controlling the disease. A novel discovery led by a team of researchers from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) could be the next big step in finding a cure for malaria. The research team of researchers led by Mrinal Bhattacharya found a correlation between the fever induced by malaria and the antigenic variation of the malarial parasites.
