Scimex: An Australian-led study has revealed the shape of a particular molecule,
found in the gut of mosquitoes, which the malaria parasite uses to
infect the insects so they can spread it to other species, such as
humans. The researchers discovered a particular region on the molecule
that malaria-blocking vaccines bind to when they block the transmission
on the parasite, and say that the results will aid in the development of
the next-generation of antimalarial vaccines.
