Scale-up of malaria control interventions has resulted in a substantial decline in global
malaria morbidity and mortality. Despite this achievement, there is evidence that current …

Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropics, with Plasmodium
falciparum responsible for the majority of the disease burden and P. vivax being the …

Understanding transmission biology at an individual level is a key component of intervention
strategies that target the spread of malaria parasites from human to mosquito. Gametocytes …

Achieving malaria elimination requires targeting the human reservoir of infection, including
those with asymptomatic infection. Smear-positive asymptomatic infections detectable by …

Plasmodium falciparum immature gametocytes are not observed in peripheral blood.
However, gametocyte stages in organs such as bone marrow have never been assessed by …

A better understanding of human-to-mosquito transmission is crucial to control malaria. In
order to assess factors associated with gametocyte carriage, 2083 samples were collected …

Background Gametocytes are responsible for transmission of malaria from human to
mosquito. Artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) reduces post-treatment gametocyte …

Plasmodium sexual differentiation is required for malaria transmission, yet much remains
unknown about its regulation. Here, we quantify early gametocyte-committed ring (gc-ring) …

Globally, malaria in recent years has witnessed a decline in the number of cases and death,
though the most recent world malaria report shows a slight decrease in the number of cases …

Malaria is among the leading public health problems worldwide. Female anopheles
mosquito orchestrates the transmission of malaria by taking gametocytes and introducing …
