Strongyloides stercoralis – small parasitic worms that live in their host’s intestines and have the potential to cause severe problems. Nevertheless, Adrian Streit from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen is fascinated by this threadworm. It has a unique life cycle, and to this day, no one really understands why

Antibiotic treatment during the liver stage of malaria generates strong protective immunity
and are simultaneously infected with malaria, no parasites
More than 120 years have gone by since the first demonstration of the connection between mosquito bites and malaria infection. Malaria one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world, is now mostly present in the sub-Tropical countries in Africa, Asia and South America. New technological advances are now promising a solution in the form of genetically manipulating entire mosquito populations. But do we know enough for such massive interventions to take place? An interview with Elena Levashina, director at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, on the state of malaria research on World Malaria Day 2019.
