A new way to block malaria transmission by targeting young contagious parasite forms
In a new study titled "Naturally acquired immunity against immature Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes," published today in Science Translational Medicine, scientists have revealed previously unknown targets of natural human antibody responses that are found on the surfaces of red blood cells infected with malaria parasites. The team behind the study believes that using a vaccine to boost this natural response may provide an efficient way to block both disease and its spread.
