DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0273568
Abstract: Mosquitoes transmit many pathogens responsible for human diseases, such as malaria which is caused by parasites in the genus Plasmodium. Current strategies to control vector-transmitted diseases are increasingly undermined by mosquito and pathogen resistance, so… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.77584
Abstract: Malaria is among the deadliest infectious diseases and Plasmodium, the causative agent, needs to complete a complex development cycle in its vector mosquito for transmission to occur. Two promising strategies to curb transmission are transgenesis,… read more here.
