Despite growing threats, global #malaria efforts have prevented an estimated 170M cases and 1M deaths in 2024.

Excited to release the Herculean efforts of @scottchisholm.bsky.social &Co. defining the subcellular #hyperLOPIT spatial proteome of #Plasmodium schizonts. Proteomes defining 24 subcellular niches, including exported compartments in the blood cell, are identified.

Between the 1910s and 1980s malaria and hookworm went from being rampant to virtually eradicated. Yes, I’m talking about the United States. That’s what concerted, intelligent, public health programmes can do.

Story time. Have you ever wondered why the CDC is headquartered in Atlanta? The answer in one word: MALARIA. CDC started to prevent the spread of malaria, so we went where the mosquitoes were.
Now, the division that houses our founding mission has an uncertain future.

8 years ago I chose Europe and it was the best decision I could have made!
Freedom of science and research is one of Europe's great strengths.
It’s how excellence and innovation thrive.
We’ll make proposals to help scientists and researchers ‘Choose Europe’.
The best and brightest from around the world.
To make Europe the home of innovation again.

It’s #WorldMalariaDay
The good news: 2.2 billion #malaria cases and 12.7 million deaths have been averted since 2000.
The bad news: after years of steady declines, progress has stalled.

Dr. Steven Kho gave a captivating presentation in Session 6 on the splenic biomass in acute clinical Pv cases. No spleen leads to more circulating parasites and lower total biomass. And quantified in patients with a spleen around 88% biomass resides in the spleen and only 12% in circulation!

Day 2 of #ICPVR2025. Session 5 begins with Dr. Manoj Duraisingh noting we have some good invasion candidates already, but that the genome tells us there are more! The combination of Pk & Pc models to study Pv antigen inhibition and gene essentiality can be used to identify and test new candidates.
