Histone methyltransferase inhibitors are orally bioavailable, fast acting molecules with activity against different species causing malaria in humans (Publications)
antimalarials are under continuous threat due to the relentless development of drug resistance by malaria parasites. We previously reported promising in vitro parasite killing activity with the histone

RESULTS: Approximately 64% [...] carriers) did not reduce subsequent malaria incidence compared with control areas. CONCLUSIONS: Highly sensitive point-of-care diagnostic tools for detection of all human malaria species are needed to make MSAT [...] BACKGROUND: Seasonal increases in malaria continue in hotspots in...

Adjustment for malaria exposure, using a novel molecular measure of [...] subclasses) to merozoite antigens and their relationship to the prospective risk of malaria in children aged 1-4yrs in a malaria endemic region of Papua New Guinea.
