Activity of Plasmodium vivax promoter elements in Plasmodium knowlesi, and a centromere-containing plasmid that expresses NanoLuc throughout the parasite life cycle

This study tests the activity of Plasmodium vivax promoter elements and centromere-containing plasmids in Plasmodium knowlesi, showing functional promoters and stable plasmid expression across the parasite life cycle.

Gliding motility of Plasmodium merozoites

This study shows Plasmodium merozoites can perform gliding motility, a previously unobserved movement essential for translocation across host cells before invasion.
