In the McFadden lab (@fad1.bsky.social) we are working on novel malaria transmission-blocking strategies incl. gene drives to target Plasmodium itself. How would a parasite gene drive work? Our new review explores this idea. Artwork by Sarah Farrel.

We are developing a simple, very cheap, low tech way to reduce malaria transmission. Instead of giving the antimalarials to people, we give them to the mosquitoes that spread the parasite. How do we drug a mosquito? Read on. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Identifying antimalarials that disrupt malaria parasite transmission when fed to the mosquito
A decade-long decline in malaria cases has plateaued, primarily due to parasite drug resistance and mosquito resistance to insecticides used in bed ne…
