This paper develops a marker-free transgenic Plasmodium falciparum line with robust fluorescence across its entire life cycle, enabling live imaging and infection studies without impairing parasite growth or fitness.

The paper develops a minigenome assay to study Oz virus RNA synthesis and finds that Segment 5 has lower promoter activity due to a partial lack of the distal duplex structure.

The paper identifies high-frequency hyper insecticide-resistant mutations in Aedes aegypti from Vietnam and Cambodia, with concomitant mutations showing unprecedented pyrethroid resistance.
