Genetic code of malaria parasite sequenced
Published October 9, 2008, 2:11 pm, Moldova.org
A U.S.-led team of scientists has identified the complete genetic sequence of a parasite that is the leading cause of relapsing malaria.Working at The Institute for Genomic Research/J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., the scientists studied the parasite Plasmodium vivax. Unlike three other species of Plasmodium that cause malaria, the researchers said P. vivax cannot be grown in the ...

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A U.S.-led team of scientists has identified the complete genetic sequence of a parasite that is the leading cause of relapsing malaria.
Nobel prizewinner describes his chemistry research as "˜a 1970s disco light'
Published October 9, 2008, 11:17 am, PhysOrg
Columbia University professor Martin Chalfie called the subject of his Nobel Prize-winning research "a 1970s disco light" that traces the growth of diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's.
Genome Of A Monkey - Human Malaria Parasite Surprises From Plasmodium Knowlesi Genome Sequence
Published October 9, 2008, 7:45 am, Medical News Today
Researchers have decoded the genome of a malaria parasite that has a host range from monkeys to man. Identified originally in monkeys, the parasite was first reported in a human infection just over 40 years ago. Until recently, four species were held responsible for human malaria infections: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. P.
Genetics: Scientists unravel two more strains of malaria parasite
Published October 9, 2008, 5:37 am, Muzi
Scientists on Wednesday said they had cracked the genetic codes of a major malaria parasite and a monkey parasite also suspected of spreading the disease, an achievement adding to the sequencing six years ago of Plasmodium falciparum, the greatest malarial threat.
Decoding of malaria parasite's genome could lead to vaccine
Published October 9, 2008, 5:04 am, USA Today
Scientists have unraveled the genetic code of a malaria parasite that sickens hundreds of millions of people each year, a step that may lead to better treatment and a vaccine.
Genome Of Parasite That Causes Relapsing Malaria Decoded
Published October 8, 2008, 7:23 pm, Science Daily
In research aimed at addressing a global epidemic, a team of scientists from around the world has cracked the genetic code for the parasite that is responsible for up to 40 percent of the 515 million annual malaria infections worldwide. Scientists have deciphered the complete genetic sequence of the parasite Plasmodium vivax, the leading cause of relapsing malaria, and compared it with the ...
More malaria gene codes drawn up
Published October 8, 2008, 5:34 pm, Channel 4
Two new genetic blueprints of malaria parasites have been drawn up by scientists. Six years ago, researchers sequenced the genetic code of Plasmodium falciparum, the most lethal of the organisms that cause malaria.

- Not Exactly Rocket Science : Toxoplasma - the brain parasite that influences human culture: "Carriers tend to show long-term personality changes that are small but statistically significant. Women tend to be more intelligent, affectionate, social and more likely to stick to rules. Men on the other hand tend to be less intelligent, but are more loyal, frugal and mild-tempered. The one trait that carriers of both genders share is a higher level of neuroticism - they are more prone to guilt, self-doubt and insecurity.&qu ot;

- Causecast - paraSITE Art Project: Drawing Attention to Homelessness: Artist Michael Rakowitz was inspired by ?the nomadic patterns of the urban homeless, particularly in the cold months, were dictated by the location of heating vents releasing exhaust from HVAC systems inside houses and buildings.? For more arts-related news, please visit http://www.cau secast.org/art s As a Masters student in Visual Studies at MIT, Rakowitz attempted to find a way to transfer the excess heat released from these vents and contain it in small, collapsible shelters that inflated with the warm air. People living on the streets could then crawl into this ?bubble? and sleep without fear of suffering from the heinously cold Boston winters. Do you think art can translate into reality?
