This study tests whether reducing Plasmodium falciparum parasite load in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes affects their survival or the parasite's extrinsic incubation period, finding no impact on these key transmission parameters.

This paper demonstrates that antimalarial drugs can block malaria transmission by targeting mosquitoes, remaining effective against resistant strains of both mosquitoes and parasites.

The paper shows that gametocyte distribution varies within vertebrate hosts, leading to uncertainty in transmission potential estimates from single blood samples.

The paper estimates parasite exposure in naturally infected malaria vectors in Burkina Faso and finds it is higher than previous estimates, with a strong link between mosquito infection and human parasite prevalence.
