This study identifies AP2-Sp3 as a transcriptional repressor that maintains midgut sporozoite identity and controls the mosquito-to-mammal infectivity switch in malaria parasites.

This study identifies PbAP2-TR as a transcriptional repressor essential for Plasmodium berghei asexual blood stage development by regulating gene expression during trophozoite stage.

This study identifies SIP2 as a master transcription factor regulating merozoite formation in Plasmodium parasites, showing its essential role in gene activation and parasite development.

This study shows that gARID is essential for gametocyte development in Plasmodium by participating in two chromatin remodeling events critical for both male and female gametocytes.
