Malaria is a pervasive and deadly threat to the global population, and the resources available to treat this disease are limited. There is widespread clinical resistance to the most commonly prescribed antimalarial drugs. To address this issue, we synthesized a range of 4'-pyrrolidinodiazenyl chalcones using a covalent bitherapy approach to study their potential antimalarial properties.

Unlabelled: Non-falciparum species causing malaria in humans are considered neglected in the fight toward malaria elimination. Recent data highlight the increasing contribution of to malaria morbidity and mortality. In this study, the susceptibility of and to current antimalarial drugs was compared to advanced lead candidate drugs using field isolates.

Mosquito vector-borne diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity across the globe. Current vector control strategies mainly rely on chemical insecticides, but their incessant usage has resulted in the development of resistance. Insecticidal agents of microbial origin have proven as good alternative tools for vector control of mosquito.

Replication rates and virulence of pathogens are hypothesised to evolve in response to varying intensity of transmission and competition among genotypes. Under exponential growth conditions in culture, clinical isolates of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have variable intrinsic multiplication rates, but comparisons of samples from different areas are needed. To analyse parasites from an area of low endemicity, Malaysian clinical isolates cryopreserved prior to malaria elimination were studied.

Background: Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin, is a key malaria indicator. Malaria in non-human primates (NHPs) is often asymptomatic, requiring laboratory tests and microscopy for diagnosis. Hematological profiles are crucial for understanding NHP clinical conditions and supporting ex vivo Plasmodium culture for antimalarial testing.
