Repeated Plasmodium vivax blood stage infection provides sterile protection against homologous challenge in non-human primates

N. Obaldia, J. L. da Silva Filho, M. Nunez, K. Glass, T. Oulton, F. Achcar, G. Wirjanata, M. Duraisingh, P. Felgner, K. Tetteh, Z. Bozdech, T. Otto, M. Marti

This study shows that repeated P. vivax infections in Aotus monkeys induce sterile immunity against homologous strain challenges but only partial protection against heterologous strains.

P. falciparum gametocyte density and infectivity in peripheral blood and skin tissue of naturally infected parasite carriers

E. Meibalan, A. Barry, M. P. Gibbins, S. Awandu, L. Meerstein-Kessel, F. Achcar, S. Bopp, C. moxon, A. Diarra, S. Debe, N. Ouedraogo, I. Barry-Some, E. Badoum, T. Fagnima, K. H. W. Lanke, , T. Bousema

The paper investigates whether P. falciparum gametocytes are sequestered in skin tissue and finds no significant skin sequestration, showing peripheral blood gametocyte densities predict mosquito infection.
