This study shows that HbAS and HbAC red blood cells increase Plasmodium falciparum sexual conversion rates compared to HbAA, suggesting a host genetic factor affecting malaria transmission.

The paper presents a transcriptome time-course of Plasmodium knowlesi A1-H.1 during its intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, identifies stage-specific biomarkers, and develops a webtool for comparative analysis with Plasmodium vivax.

This paper develops a novel single-cell RNA sequencing technology for Plasmodium natural infections, enabling field studies in low-resource settings by validating sample preparation methods and generating a comprehensive dataset.

The paper compares SNP barcode panels with microsatellites to assess population genetics of malaria parasites in the Peruvian Amazon, finding comparable results between the methods.

The paper identifies a cryptotype in Plasmodium falciparum genomes across Africa, characterized by a complex genetic background that is geographically widespread but genetically distinct.

This paper presents a new high-quality reference genome for South American Plasmodium vivax isolates, showing improved representation compared to existing genomes.
