Targeting malaria transmission

Science, 2019
Malaria To effectively block transmission of Plasmodium falciparum , vaccines must target appropriate antigens. To identify candidate antigens, Dantzler et al. studied immune responses from large cohorts of people who had been infected with P. falciparum .

Malaria transmission-blocking vaccines

Trends in Biotechnology, 1992
Antibodies to surface proteins of the sexual stages of Plasmodium falciparum block completely the transmission of these malaria parasites. Transmission-blocking vaccines therefore represent a powerful and novel approach to controlling the spread of this lethal disease.

Mechanical transmission of malaria

Experimental Parasitology, 1963
Abstract In a series of experiments on mechanical transmission of malarial parasites, using Aedes aegypti as the transmitting agent of Plasmodium gallinaceum in chicks, only one case of positive infection was achieved. When Anopheles stephensi was used to transmit P. berghei in mice, all results were negative.

Transmission blocking malaria vaccines

Vaccine, 2001
Transmission blocking vaccines (TBVs) against malaria are intended to induce immunity against the stages of the parasites which infect mosquitoes so that TBV-immunised individuals cannot transmit malaria. As malarial infections are transmitted mainly within a few hundreds of meters from an infectious human source, TBVs used within in a community would ...

More on Malaria Transmissibility

Parasitology Today, 1998
The article by Maitland, Williams and Newbold on interactions between Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum[1xMaitland, K., Williams, T.N., and Newbold, C.I. Parasitol. Today. 1997; 13: 227–231Abstract | Full Text PDF | PubMed | Scopus (101)See all References][1]is interesting and important, but the following statement which appears towards the end has to

Climate change and malaria transmission

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1996
There is a consensus among climatologists that our planet is experiencing a progressive rise in surface temperature due to the increased production of "greenhouse" gases. Some of the possible consequences of elevated temperature on malaria transmission are examined in the present review.

Progress in Modelling Malaria Transmission

2010
Transmission of human malaria is a complicated dynamic process that involves populations of humans, parasites, and vectors. The first mathematical models of malaria are now more than a century old, and they are still a useful conceptual synthetic description of transmission, but they fail in some important ways.

Spatial simulation of malaria transmission and its control by malaria transmission blocking vaccination

International Journal for Parasitology, 2002
A simple, visual representation of spatial aspects of malaria transmission in successive snap-shots in time, is presented. The spatial components of the simulation involve (i) the identification of mosquito vector breeding sites of defined shape and area, (ii) the identification of a zone of malaria transmission determined by the shapes and areas of ...
