The paper shows that additional blood meals from bovine and canine hosts can enhance sporozoite migration in malaria-infected mosquitoes, with human and bovine blood showing more consistent reductions in extrinsic incubation period.

This study develops alkyne-modified purines as a DNA synthesis marker to distinguish replicating and non-replicating Plasmodium stages, aiding in understanding dormancy mechanisms.

This study shows that limited Caspase-1 cleavage in hepatocytes reduces pyroptosis and cytokine maturation, impairing malaria control, and that enhancing ASC expression improves immune response.

This study shows that ambient temperature variation affects Plasmodium falciparum establishment in mosquitoes, with higher temperatures reducing infection rates but increasing oocyst intensity, and density-dependent effects varying by temperature.
