This study shows that Plasmodium Protein Kinase 2 is essential for the ookinete to oocyst transition and sporozoite development in the mosquito, affecting parasite transmission.

The paper investigates how metabolic reprogramming and gut microbiota ecology in Anopheles darlingi influence Plasmodium vivax infection outcomes, identifying distinct physiological and microbial responses associated with resistance or susceptibility.

This study develops and characterizes a nanosd integral gene drive in Anopheles gambiae, achieving high gene drive rates and showing potential for malaria vector control.

The paper investigates epigenetic regulation in Plasmodium berghei during its developmental transition, identifying HP1 and H3K9ac roles in gene expression and uncovering DNA motifs associated with ookinete-specific genes.
