A CRISPR homing screen finds a chloroquine resistance transporter-like protein of the Plasmodium oocyst essential for mosquito transmission of malaria

This study uses a CRISPR homing screen to identify essential genes for malaria transmission in mosquito stages, finding a chloroquine resistance transporter-like protein critical for oocyst development.

Systematic screens for fertility genes essential for malaria parasite transmission reveal conserved aspects of sex in a divergent eukaryote

The paper identifies 401 sex and transmission-related gene functions in malaria parasites through genetic screens, revealing conserved fertility mechanisms across eukaryotes.

Regulators of male and female sexual development critical for transmission of a malaria parasite

The paper identifies ten genes critical for male and female sexual development in Plasmodium berghei and reveals a regulatory cascade governing gametogenesis.
