Improving Malaria Parasite Gene Flow Inference Under Sparse Spatial Sampling

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimating malaria parasite migration is crucial for informing elimination strategies, particularly by identifying regions with higher parasite migration that may serve as transmission sources and intervention targets. Methods that infer spatial variations in gene flow from georeferenced genetic data, including Estimated Effective Migration ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2675-2712, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Quantitative and Clinical Pharmacology Perspectives on Next‐Generation Malaria Prevention Using Vaccines and Long‐Acting Monoclonal Antibodies

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria remains a significant global health burden, particularly among pediatric populations in endemic regions. Recent advances in preventive interventions highlight the complementary roles of vaccines and long‐acting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in reducing infection risk.

Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics of Pathogen Epidemic Timing in a Seasonal Environment

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
How are seasonal patterns of pathogen epidemics shaped by evolution? Using numerical and analytical approaches, we investigate the evolution of pathogen seasonal preferences. Our analysis identifies two selective forces driving the diversification of pathogen seasonality: seasonal priority effect and stabilising selection.

Genotyping of C and F Regions of Plasmodium Falciparum EBA-175 in South-East of Iran

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2014
Background and Objective: The Plasmodium falciparum EBA-175, via Sialic acid dependent glycophorin A, binds to red blood cells and thus plays a critical role in cell invasion. Some part of second allele in its gene encoding in FCR-3 (Section F) and CAMP (

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Short‐Course Low‐Dose Primaquine for Radical Cure in G6PD‐Normal Patients in the Pre‐Elimination Context of Nepal

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1028-1034, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Plasmodium vivax remains a challenge for malaria elimination in Nepal due to its ability to relapse. Radical cure with primaquine is effective but limited by poor adherence to the standard 14‐day low‐dose regimen. In 2022, the WHO recommended administering the same total dose (3.5 mg/kg) over 7 days to improve adherence.

Prevalence of non-falciparum malaria infections among asymptomatic individuals in four regions of Mainland Tanzania

Parasites & Vectors
Background Recent studies point to the need to incorporate the detection of non-falciparum species into malaria surveillance activities in sub-Saharan Africa, where 95% of the world’s malaria cases occur.

Life Course Malaria Exposure and SARS‐CoV‐2 Seroepidemiology in Ugandan Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study Nested in a Birth Cohort

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1012-1027, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background COVID‐19 has had major global health impacts, yet reported morbidity and mortality have been lower in Africa despite serological evidence of widespread infection. Malaria has been proposed as a potential modifier of susceptibility to and outcomes of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

Comprehensive analysis of molecular markers linked to antimalarial drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum in Northern, Northeastern and Eastern Uganda

Malaria Journal
Background In Uganda, antimalarial resistance in Plasmodium falciparum poses serious public health and treatment challenges. Globally, recent data have highlighted the roles of following genes in malaria resistance: Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate ...
