Check out this wonderful paper on malaria transmission blocking candidates by the Tham lab! Lots of beautiful science in here - structures, imagining, vaccination, human immune responses @acreme2030 @womeninmalaria
Interested in #malaria transmission? Check out our new work using cryo-EM of ENDOGENOUS sexual stage parasites to determine the Pfs230-Pfs48/45 fertilisation complex - please read & share! structures| nanobodies | human immune responses | mRNA-LNP https://t.co/GXJlBkDWfN

🎉 Congrats to Anju Abraham from @WEHI_research on receiving a SEED grant. The project aims to improve the sensitivity of an established assay that detects P. vivax antigens in the blood. This would enable detection of individuals with asymptomatic and hidden P. vivax infections.
