Malaria Research
Malaria research focuses on understanding and combating malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. Scientists study the parasite's life cycle, how it interacts with both mosquitoes and humans, and develop effective treatments and vaccines. Research also examines the social and environmental factors that contribute to malaria's spread. By improving diagnostics, medicines, and preventive measures, researchers aim to reduce malaria's impact, particularly in regions where it is most prevalent. Ongoing efforts include monitoring resistance to treatments and exploring innovative strategies to control mosquito populations and educate communities about prevention.
