Quantification of sporozoite expelling by Anopheles mosquitoes infected with laboratory and naturally circulating P. falciparum gametocytes

The paper quantifies sporozoite expulsion from Anopheles mosquitoes infected with P. falciparum gametocytes, finding that infection burden correlates with sporozoite expulsion.

Proteome-wide antigenic profiling in Ugandan cohorts identifies associations between age, exposure intensity, and responses to repeat-containing antigens in Plasmodium falciparum

The paper profiles antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum antigens in Ugandan cohorts, finding that repeat-containing antigens show stronger exposure-dependent responses and shared cross-reactive motifs.

Landscape drives zoonotic malaria prevalence in non-human primates

The paper analyzes P. knowlesi prevalence in non-human primates across Southeast Asia, finding links between habitat fragmentation and infection rates, which may influence human malaria risk.

Plasmodium falciparum serology: A comparison of two protein production methods for analysis of antibody responses by protein microarray

This study compares antibody responses to proteins produced by IVTT and purified recombinant systems on a protein microarray, finding greater responses to purified recombinants and variable correlation between expression systems.

Impact of a rapid decline in malaria transmission on antimalarial IgG subclasses and avidity

The paper examines how malaria transmission decline affects antimalarial IgG subclasses and avidity in Ugandans, finding age-related changes in IgG decay, subclass ratios, and avidity dynamics.

Anopheles stephensi as an emerging malaria vector in the Horn of Africa with high susceptibility to Ethiopian Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum isolates

The paper assesses the susceptibility of Anopheles stephensi to Ethiopian Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum isolates, finding high receptivity and potential for increased malaria transmission in the Horn of Africa.

P. falciparum gametocyte density and infectivity in peripheral blood and skin tissue of naturally infected parasite carriers

The paper investigates whether P. falciparum gametocytes are sequestered in skin tissue and finds no significant skin sequestration, showing peripheral blood gametocyte densities predict mosquito infection.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the human blood index of the major African malaria vectors

This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the human blood index (HBI) of major African malaria vectors, finding higher HBI in Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus compared to An. arabiensis, with location being a stronger predictor than species.

Assessing the blood-host plasticity and dispersal rate of the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

The paper introduces a method to assess blood-host plasticity and dispersal rate of Anopheles coluzzii using blood-meal source detection and molecular analysis.

Probabilistic data integration identifies reliable gametocyte-specific proteins and transcripts in malaria parasites

The paper integrates omics data to identify gametocyte-specific genes and transcripts in malaria parasites, finding novel biomarkers and validating their expression in natural infections.
