The paper shows that additional blood meals increase Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite infectivity to hepatocytes by altering their transcriptional profiles.

The paper develops a CRISPR-based system using Cas9-expressing hepatocytes to study Plasmodium falciparum host interactions, validating its utility for screening host genes involved in infection.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to map Plasmodium transitions and interactions in Anopheles mosquitoes, identifying key molecular processes and potential targets for transmission-blocking strategies.

This study investigates the spatiotemporal maturation and infectivity of Plasmodium sporozoites across different mosquito stages, showing a gradient of infectivity from midgut to saliva.

The paper creates a comprehensive single-cell transcriptome atlas of the Plasmodium berghei life cycle and applies it to define stages in human malaria parasites.
