This study uses kinase regression to identify host kinases regulating P. vivax liver-stage parasites, revealing variability in host dependencies across isolates that may explain field heterogeneity.

The paper isolates a human monoclonal antibody that targets Plasmodium vivax AMA1, blocking both pre-erythrocytic and blood stage infections.

This study shows declining genetic diversity and purifying selection in Plasmodium knowlesi in Thailand, linked to increased transmission, with genetic similarity between southern Thailand and Malaysia.

This paper develops an ectopic huLiver model in mice to study human Plasmodium liver stage infection and tests its utility for antimalarial drug evaluation.
