Scientists at Stockholm University and collaborators say they have used high-resolution genomic tools to map the global repertoire of genes of gametocyte development toward the male or the female ...

In the blood of its human host, a small number of asexually replicating Plasmodium falciparum parasites differentiate to initiate sexual development, i.e. gametocyte develop. Gametocyte development ...

In hopes of fighting malaria by interfering with the life cycle of the malaria parasite, scientists have focused on a potential weak point—the part of the cycle in which the parasite, while in human ...

Australian researchers have found a new drug target for stopping the spread of malaria, after successfully blocking the world's deadliest malaria parasite - Plasmodium falciparum - from completing the ...
