Worms reduce inflammation only on high-fiber diets; low fiber disables their benefits and disrupts gut health.

A new study sheds light on how parasites, often overlooked, can dramatically affect the balance between predator and prey populations. Researchers developed a groundbreaking mathematical framework ...

Natural malaria infections have been genetically analysed at a higher resolution than ever before, giving insights that could help understand and block transmission. For the first time, the ...

For the first time the developmental stages of the deadliest human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, have been mapped in high resolution, allowing scientists to better understand this ...

Male fertility rates have been plummeting over the past half-century. An analysis from 1992 noted a steady decrease in sperm counts and quality since the 1940s. A more recent study found that male ...
