Malaria Genomics and Transcriptomics, Malaria Transmission

Transcriptomes and Proteomes of Plasmodium vivax

Topic of research

Exploratory/Developmental research

Outcome

This study depict a comprehensive view of gene expression of P. vivax blood stage. Such information will help unravel the mechanism of sexual development which may lead to the discovery of new antimalarial drugs and transmission-blocking vaccine targets. This information will definitely fuel malaria elimination.
