A Study, In A First Of Its Kind, Is Indicating That Conotoxins, From Venomous Cone Snail, Has Potential For Developing Novel Anti-Adhesion Treatment For Severe Malaria Like P. Falciparum. Conotoxins Could Disrupt Protein-Protein And Protein-Polysaccharide Interactions That Directly Contribute To Malaria, And Possibly To AIDS And COVID-19.
