How the Malaria bug 'hides' in the Host

Science In Action

Available for over a year

Reasearch in mice shows how the malaria bug gets past its host's immune system and moves from the liver to the blood. Scientists will use this year's Atlantic hurricane season to study how winds and dust from Africa affect hurricane formation. Plus, the cognitive abilities of bees, and how tourists are getting too close to Brazil's beach hunting dolphins.
