Polyparasitism and Anaemia Among Women of Reproductive Age in Kilifi County—Kenya

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Polyparasitism is commonly associated with Plasmodium species, Schistosoma species and soil‐transmitted helminths. Anaemia results from a variety of causes, including parasitic infections. Women of reproductive age (WRA) and children below the age of five are disproportionately affected by polyparasitic infections, putting them at risk of ...

Novel use Of Hydroxyurea in an African Region with Malaria (NOHARM): a trial for children with sickle cell anemia [PDF]

, 2017
Hydroxyurea treatment is recommended for children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) living in high-resource malaria-free regions, but its safety and efficacy in malaria-endemic sub-Saharan Africa, where the greatest sickle-cell burden exists, remain unknown.

Unveiling the Antimalarial Potential of Leaf Extracts of Mussaenda erythrophylla Schum. & Thonn. and Mussaenda philippica Dona Luz x M. flava in Mice

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Malaria remains a major global public health concern, particularly in tropical regions. The increasing resistance to the current antimalarial drugs highlights the urgent need for new and effective therapies. Medicinal plants offer a promising source of novel and affordable antimalarial compounds for drug development.

Ein neuer Malariawirkstoff hemmt die Proteinsynthese von Plasmodium falciparum

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 49, December 1, 2025.
Die Verbindung 31 stellt einen vielversprechenden Ansatz für die Entwicklung eines Malariawirkstoffs mit einem starken Wirkungsprofil dar (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3,9 ± 0,4 nM). Sie hat einen neuartigen Wirkmechanismus, indem sie an zytosolische Ribosomen‐Untereinheiten bindet und dadurch die Proteinsynthese im Parasiten hemmt.

A Novel Antimalarial Agent that Inhibits Protein Synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 49, December 1, 2025.
Compound 31 represents a promising avenue for the development as an antimalarial agent with a potent activity profile (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3.9 ± 0.4 nM). It has a novel mode of action by binding to cytosolic ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in the parasite.
