This news talks about how the scientists are investigating with regards to the human immune system that can defend against malaria. They have uncovered a rare phenomenon of antibodies that works together to bind to a vulnerable spot on the parasite.
According to a research, it says that antibodies working together can result in a protein on the parasite's
cell surface locking it into a spiral conformation, like a wide
corkscrew, blocking the parasite from starting its life cycle in the
human host and, hence, protecting against infection.
