Researchers discover how 'promiscuous parasites' hijack host immune cells
sciencedaily.com — “Researchers recently discovered how T. gondii evades our defenses by hacking immune cells, making it the first known parasite to control its host's immune system. A new study describes a forced partnership between parasite and host that challenges common conceptions of how pathogens interact with the body.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Better blood screening process needed to prevent babesiosis transmission
eurekalert.org — “Babesiosis is a potentially dangerous parasitic disease transmitted by ticks and is common in the Northeast and the upper Midwest. It can also be transmitted through a blood transfusion from an infected but otherwise asymptomatic blood donor. A new study led by researchers at Rhode Island and the Miriam hospitals finds a dramatic increase in the number of transfusion-transmitted babesiosis cases, leading to a call for a better screening test in blood donors living in areas of the country where b” View full resource at eurekalert.org

Extreme Genetic Variability In Malaria Parasite Found
sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have charted the extreme genetic differences that occur in the most dangerous malaria parasite in the world. The study suggests that developing a broadly protective vaccine for malaria may be challenging because the parasite's genetic makeup is so variable. Drug-resistant malaria has been a major barrier to treatment, and this study suggests that "vaccine-resistant" malaria may also become a problem.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com
