This study identifies SFA1's role in coordinating cytoskeletal organisation, apical polarity, and cell replication during Plasmodium sexual development, showing its necessity for parasite transmission.

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 identifies GAPM2 as an IMC component in Plasmodium species and reveals its heterotrimeric complex structure and functional role in the glideosome.

This study identifies ARK1 as a critical regulator of mitosis in Plasmodium, forming a non-canonical chromosomal passenger complex with divergent INCENPs, and highlights its potential as an antimalarial target.

This study shows Apicortin is localized to the apical conoid body of Plasmodium berghei during transmission but is not essential for parasite development or transmission.

This study identifies the SUN1-ALLAN complex as critical for coordinating nuclear envelope remodeling and bipartite MTOC segregation during rapid mitosis in Plasmodium male gametogenesis.

This paper identifies Scot1, a micronemal protein essential for late liver-stage development and apicoplast biogenesis in Plasmodium berghei, showing its potential as a target for malaria vaccines.
