Malaria Researchers Identify New Mosquito Virus
Researchers have identified a previously unknown virus that is infectious to Anopheles gambiae—the mosquito primarily responsible for transmitting malaria. They believe the newly discovered virus could one day be used as to help control malaria.

Promising Antimalarial Treatment
A study supported by the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute has identified an antihistamine that may be an effective antimalarial drug in humans.

A Mosquito Gene and Malaria
School researchers report that a better understanding of the mosquito gene that kills the malaria-causing parasite in humans may lead to new disease control measures.

Malaria in Macha
Researchers battle malaria in the tropical setting of Macha, Zambia, the field research base of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute.
