The paper identifies and characterizes two novel Plasmodium vivax merozoite proteins, PvMP45 and PvMP36, which bind reticulocyte receptors and are targets of protective antibodies, suggesting their potential as vaccine candidates.

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

This study identifies EGF7 in PfRipr as a critical domain for inhibiting Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte invasion and provides a basis for vaccine design.

The paper shows that glycan-specific B cells undergo class-switching and diversification in germinal centers with age and infection, influencing vaccine design.

The paper identifies a conserved complex formed by PTRAMP, CSS, and Ripr in Plasmodium species that facilitates merozoite invasion of erythrocytes and shows its structural and functional conservation across species.

This study evaluates how genetic diversity in Plasmodium vivax antigens affects serological markers for malaria exposure and finds that using multiple antigens can improve detection accuracy.
