5 non-travel related cases of malaria have been reported in the U.S. Several people in the U.S. have come down with malaria. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was the first time in 20 years that malaria has been locally transmitted in the U.S.

🦟🧬 Malaria elimination is a global priority, and MESA CoP initiative is leading the charge! They're focusing on pfhrp2/3 gene deletion surveillance to improve diagnostics & inform strategies. Want to make a difference? Join: http://ow.ly/C4U350NnM9Z

Community of Practice: pfhrp2/3 gene deletions The aim of the Community of Practice (CoP) on pfhrp2/3 gene deletions is to create a space for interaction among national malaria programs, researchers, and partners involved in the implementation of surveys for the detection and/or monitoring of deletions.

💊 Breaking the parasite's cycle: ACS10 inhibitors identified by researchers show promise as a novel therapeutic strategy for targeting malaria. Learn how these inhibitors disrupt the parasite's energy production at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36921-2

Potent acyl-CoA synthetase 10 inhibitors kill Plasmodium falciparum by disrupting triglyceride formation - Nature Communications Drug resistance to current antimalarials is rising and new drugs and targets are urgently needed. Here the authors identify Plasmodium falciparum acyl-CoA synthetase 10 as a new target whose inhibition leads to a decrease in triacylglycerols.
