Abstract
Malaria mortality remains above 500 000 people annually, demonstrating the need for new and innovative control approaches. Using a genome-scale, functional screen of Plasmodium sexual replication, Sayers et al. identified over 300 genes essential for malaria transmission through the mosquito, providing many new candidates for drug and vaccine development.
