This study shows that targeting PTRAMP-CSS inhibits Plasmodium falciparum across liver, blood, and mosquito stages, supporting its potential as a multistage vaccine target.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity of the malaria parasite antigen MSP2 in Sub-Saharan Africa using PCR and long-read sequencing, revealing extensive sequence variation and regional prevalence patterns.

This study shows that surface remodelling in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes helps evade immune detection and facilitates transmission by controlling their sequestration and release into the bloodstream.
