First new type of malaria treatment in decades shows promise against drug resistance If approved, GanLum could be available within a year and a half, according to maker.

In a clinical trial, this new malaria drug cured 97.4% participants

Dengue disease severity in humans is augmented by waning Japanese encephalitis virus immunity Waning immunity to Japanese encephalitis virus was associated with increased severity of dengue disease in a cohort of patients from Nepal.

A new analysis of a cohort in Nepal links the waning of vaccine immunity against Japanese encephalitis virus to elevated chymase levels and a higher risk of severe #dengue infection.

Effectiveness of the TAK-003 dengue vaccine in adolescents during the 2024 outbreak in São Paulo, Brazil: a test-negative, case–control study TAK-003 was effective against symptomatic dengue and hospitalisation with dengue in adolescents during a large outbreak caused predominantly by dengue virus serotypes 1 and 2. These findings underscor...

Systems analysis of clinical malaria reveals proteomic perturbation and innate-adaptive crosstalk linked to disease severity While the immune response to Plasmodium falciparum malaria has been studied extensively, the circulating proteome and its cellular origins remain poorly characterized. Lautenbach et al. address this b...

Proud co‑author on @cp-immunity.bsky.social study by Julius Lautenbach, @chrissundling.bsky.social & Team Färnert w/ HPA & @scilifelab.se. We integrate plasma proteome dynamics (1500 proteins) + scRNA-seq in acute malaria, identifying severity markers & exploring immune-cell communication.

Beautiful study of primaquine treatment to prevent vivax malaria relapses from Jean Popovici's team from Pasteur Cambodia.

The study is special because patients were moved to a non-endemic part of Cambodia, excluding reinfection from msoquitoes.

RSero: A user-friendly R package to reconstruct pathogen circulation history from seroprevalence studies Author summary Antibodies are immune markers of past infections. Seroprevalence studies that characterize the seropositivity status in the population have been used for decades in epidemiological stud...

Serological data provide key insights on pathogen circulation. We introduce a new R package, Rsero, which is a pipeline to store and analyze age-stratified sero data, estimate the history of pathogen circulation and compare different transmission models.
