The dry season is a major challenge for Plasmodium falciparum parasites in many malaria
endemic regions, where water availability limits mosquito vectors to only part of the year …

Malaria transmission is influenced by climate, land use and deliberate interventions. Recent
declines have been observed in malaria transmission. Here we show that the African …

Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria, is transmitted by a mosquito into the dermis
and must reach the liver before infecting erythrocytes and causing disease. We present here …

Malaria parasites have to survive and transmit within a highly selective and ever-changing
host environment. Because immunity to malaria is nonsterilizing and builds up slowly …

The blood stage of the infection of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exhibits a 48-
hour developmental cycle that culminates in the synchronous release of parasites from red …

A common pathological characteristic of Plasmodium falciparum infection is the
cytoadhesion of mature-stage-infected erythrocytes (IE) to host endothelium and …

Since the year 2000, a concerted campaign against malaria has led to unprecedented levels
of intervention coverage across sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the effect of this control …

INTRODUCTION Plasmodium parasites, the causative agent of malaria, are single-celled
organisms with distinct morphological developmental stages each specialized to inhabit …

In regions of high rates of malaria transmission, mosquitoes repeatedly transmit liver-tropic
Plasmodium sporozoites to individuals who already have blood-stage parasitemia. This …

Success in eliminating malaria will depend on whether parasite evolution outpaces control
efforts. Here, we show that Plasmodium falciparum parasites (the deadliest of the species …
