The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of the Plasmodium falciparum Pfs230-Pfs48/45 fertilization complex and identifies domains critical for function and vaccine design.

This study shows that glycosylation of PfTRAP's TSR domain is essential for sporozoite motility and invasion, as glyco-null mutants exhibit severe fitness defects.

This study identifies PfHDP's role in hemoglobin uptake by Plasmodium parasites and shows its interaction with the translocon complex, suggesting it as a target for antimalarial drugs.
