Exposure to Suboptimal Doses of Antimalarial Drugs Could, Under Certain Circumstances, Increase Malaria TransmissionA new study shows that, depending on the parasite stage, suboptimal doses of artemisinin could increase its conversion to the sexual form, which is the only form that can be transmitted

New Study Explores How the Malaria Parasite Responds to Artemisinin-Based Treatment in Infected PatientsResults indicate that in some cases the antimalarial increases the parasite's rate of sexual conversion and may thus attenuate the drug's effect in reducing parasite transmission

Fluorescent Parasites for Studying a Key Process in Malaria TransmissionAn ISGlobal team develops an assay that will help assess the effect of drugs and other factors on sexual conversion by Plasmodium falciparum
