Monoclonal antibodies block transmission of genetically diverse Plasmodium falciparum strains to mosquitoes
12 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Malaria parasite transmission to mosquitoes relies on the uptake of sexual stage parasites during a blood meal and subsequent formation of oocysts on the mosquito midgut wall. Transmission-blocking vaccines (TBVs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) target sexual stage antigens to interrupt human-to-mosquito transmission and may form important tools for malaria elimination. Although most epitopes of these...
