This study compares gametocyte production and transmission fitness of ART-sensitive and ART-resistant P. falciparum isolates across multiple mosquito species.

This study demonstrates that Nanopore sequencing provides accurate SNV calls and detects structural variants in malaria parasite genomes, comparable to Illumina sequencing, and enables real-time, field-deployable whole genome sequencing.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity in PvDBP and PvEBP from P. vivax isolates in Cambodia and Madagascar, finding higher PvEBP copy numbers in Madagascar and evidence of diversifying selection on PvEBP.

The paper investigates the prevalence of multiple copies of the Pfpm2 gene in African Plasmodium falciparum isolates and links it to potential piperaquine resistance.
