Anopheles stephensi ecology and control in Africa
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Dec 22:S1471-4922(23)00291-X. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe encroachment and rapid spread of Anopheles stephensi across Africa presents a significant challenge to malaria control and elimination efforts. Understanding the ecology and behavior of An. stephensi will critically inform control measures and provide prerequisite knowledge for exploring new larval and adult control tools to contain its spread.PMID:38142196 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.011 (Source: Trends in Parasitology)

Molecular markers for malaria genetic epidemiology: progress and pitfalls
We describe available marker panels, use cases, implications for different transmission settings, limitations, access, cost, and data accuracy. The information provided can be used as a guide for molecular epidemiology and surveillance of malaria.PMID:38129280 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.006 (Source: Trends in Parasitology)

Time to drop the term 'simian malaria parasites'
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Dec 20:S1471-4922(23)00290-8. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe term 'simian malaria parasites' has crept into the modern malaria literature as a synonym for 'non-human primate malaria parasites', most commonly referring to species of Plasmodium infective to Old World monkeys. As humans are also simians, we contend that this usage is erroneous, and should not be used.PMID:38129281 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.010 (Source: Trends in Parasitology)

Plasmodium falciparum ring-stage plasticity and drug resistance
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Dec 15:S1471-4922(23)00287-8. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.11.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMalaria is a life-threatening tropical disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium, of which Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal. Malaria parasites have a complex life cycle, with stages occurring in both the Anopheles mosquito vector and human host. Ring stages are the youngest form of the parasite in the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle and are associated with evasion of spleen clearance, temporary growth arrest (TGA), and drug resistance. This formidable ability to survive and develop into ...
