This study compares the transmission blocking efficacy of primaquine and tafenoquine in vivo, finding tafenoquine more effective due to better pharmacokinetics beyond 24 hours.

This paper identifies a small molecule inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum myosin A, showing it blocks ATP hydrolysis and parasite growth.

The paper introduces a new computational pipeline for var gene expression analysis, showing changes in var gene expression and core transcriptome during in vitro culture of Plasmodium falciparum.

The paper develops an electricity-free nucleic acid extraction method from dried blood spots on filter paper for point-of-care diagnostics, showing comparable performance to standard methods.

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to map gene usage and developmental trajectories of Plasmodium falciparum during mosquito transmission.

This paper demonstrates the use of a bacterial biosynthesis platform to produce and screen violacein derivatives for antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum.

This study investigates why P. falciparum gametocytes fail to form ookinetes in vitro, finding that poor gamete fertilization is the main barrier.

This study identifies an essential light chain for Plasmodium falciparum class XIV myosin that enhances actin motility speed when expressed with the heavy chain and known light chain.
