The paper applies close-kin mark-recapture to estimate adult mosquito census size and clutch failure probability in Anopheles gambiae, finding high clutch failure and extreme reproductive variance.

This paper develops a nanopore sequencing method to distinguish recrudescence from new infections in antimalarial trials, achieving high sensitivity and specificity.

The paper analyzes P. falciparum genetic diversity and transmission patterns in Ethiopian highlands, finding local transmission and clonal parasite spread.

The paper analyzes Plasmodium falciparum CSP variants' interactions with human immunoproteins to explain RTS,S vaccine efficacy in Ghana, finding that peptide length affects binding affinity and immune response.

This study uses ddPCR-amplicon sequencing to analyze Plasmodium falciparum genetic structure in Zanzibar, revealing isolated populations and transmission patterns relevant to malaria elimination.

This study characterizes the transcriptome and histone epigenome of Plasmodium vivax sporozoites, revealing transcriptional and post-transcriptional control mechanisms and potential pathways for hypnozoite formation.
