| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project has enabled a better understanding of the transmission dynamics of malaria parasites through manipulation of rodent malaria parasites in mosquitoes. We have developed a sophisticated methodology to identify genes that control important parts of the parasites life cycle. We have also shown that parasites may not become more dangerous through interaction with other parasite strains in nature.
