Malaria control relies heavily on the use of anti-malarial drugs and insecticides against
malaria parasites and mosquito vectors. Drug and insecticide resistance threatens the …

Abstract “The Primate Malarias” book has been a uniquely important resource for multiple
generations of scientists, since its debut in 1971, and remains pertinent to the present day …

Malaria elimination means cessation of parasite transmission. At present, the declining
malaria incidence in many countries has made elimination a feasible goal. Transmission …

Obtaining Plasmodium vivax sporozoites is essential for in vitro culture of liver stage
parasites, not only to understand fundamental aspects of parasite biology, but also for drug …

Background Immunizing human volunteers by mosquito bite with radiation-attenuated
Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (RAS) results in high-level protection against infection …

Existing control measures have significantly reduced malaria morbidity and mortality in the
last two decades, although these reductions are now stalling. Significant efforts have been …

Plasmodium relapses are attributed to the activation of dormant liver-stage parasites and are
responsible for a significant number of recurring malaria blood-stage infections. While …

Simple Summary Membrane feeding assays have been widely used in malaria transmission
research and insectary colony maintenance. Here, we investigate whether a membrane …

Some parasitic diseases, such as malaria, require two hosts to complete their lifecycle: a
human and an insect vector. Although most malaria research has focused on parasite …

Background Direct membrane feeding assays (DMFA) are an important tool to study parasite
transmission to mosquitoes. Mosquito feeding rates in these artificial systems require …
