This study provides the first comprehensive gene expression profile of Plasmodium falciparum liver stages during in vivo development, revealing key metabolic and regulatory processes.

This paper identifies a Plasmodium protein, LINUP, critical for late liver stage development and shows its deletion causes severe attenuation of liver-to-blood stage transition in both P. yoelii and P. falciparum.

This study shows that GAMA is essential for Plasmodium sporozoite motility, egress from oocysts, and invasion of the vertebrate host, with distinct roles in each process.

This study shows that PfCDPK4 is essential for male gametogenesis in Plasmodium falciparum, affecting exflagellation and parasite transmission to mosquitoes.
