Doctors outside malaria zones often don’t think to test for it, while symptoms, rapid tests and drug resistance can all complicate diagnosis and treatment.

The team printed a honeycomb and a Canadian maple leaf, both roughly the size of a single grain of sand.
As dengue spreads further outside its normal tropical zones, doctors and patients need to know what to watch for.
Mozzies are causing Buruli ulcers in more parts of Australia. New research suggests a mosquito control can help reduce risks in future.
The immediate risk is very low. The discovery shows how warmer weather may change Britain’s defences against mosquito-borne disease.
A new study shows what microbes and odors on human skin appeal to different species of mosquitoes.
A mosquito bite may seem like a minor summer irritation, but it reflects a complex interaction taking place in the immune system.
The results were striking: mosquito populations in towns where our mosquitoes were released declined.
Genomics-based surveillance can help us identify the prevalence of mosquito-borne viruses across the country.
Teach mozzies to link the smell of DEET with food, and they might seek it out. So what does this mean?
After two people in the Northern Territory died from Murray Valley encephalitis, health authorities are warning residents and travellers to avoid mosquito bites.
These little predators are on tiny missions to seek and destroy mosquitoes, especially ones full of blood.
Malaria is still endemic in Africa.
Many insects in Africa are likely to face dangerous levels of heat stress, with serious consequences for ecosystems.
From wombat and mozzie surveillance to deciphering climate history and spotting star explosions, citizen scientists are instrumental in contributing knowledge.
Once-lethal insecticides now require concerningly high concentrations to effectively kill mosquitoes. Some mosquitoes are already immune to all classes of insecticides used to control malaria.
In recent decades, cases have risen sharply in Africa as urbanisation, travel and climate change have expanded mosquito habitats.
Analyzing 20 million recorded mosquito flight paths revealed the mathematical rules behind how these tiny predators move and zero in on their human targets.
Cases of Buruli ulcer have been detected on the New South Wales south coast. Here’s how to protect yourself.
Flooding alters the environment in ways that favour malaria transmission.
