Genetic and genomic approaches for the discovery of parasite genes involved in antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]

, 2013
The biggest threat to the war on malaria is the continued evolution of drug resistance by the parasite. Resistance to almost all currently available antimalarials now exists in Plasmodium falciparum which causes the most suffering among all human malaria

Childhood Linear Growth and Early Morbidity as Predictors of Adolescent Cognitive Ability in Malawi: A Prospective Observational Study

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 3, Page 634-642, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Growth faltering and loss of development potential are common in low‐ and middle‐income countries. We aimed to study whether linear growth before and after 2 years, height‐for‐age Z‐score (HAZ) from 1 month until 13 years and morbidity during the first 3 years predict adolescent cognitive ability.
