Analyses of detailed clinical and entomological data from cohort studies reveal how anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity against P. falciparum develop as a function of age and transmission intensity.

The acquisition of immunity to malaria by an individual depends on their age and the number of infectious mosquito bites they have received.

Engagement of both host and parasite signaling pathways proves a novel approach for developing improved anti-parasitic therapies.

Atypical memory B cells (MBCs) appear to differentiate from classical MBCs during chronic exposure to the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, and may interfere with the acquisition of immunity to the disease.

Identifying and treating those groups of individuals that are most likely to transmit the malaria parasite to mosquitoes could help to control the spread of the disease.

The first comprehensive analysis of antigenic switching in the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum provides new insights into the process that prevents individuals from acquiring immunity to the disease.

Stem cells are found to continually rejuvenate the epidermis of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni.
