Malaria parasites prepare for flight

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Life in seasonal environments often means facing extreme environmental fluctuations. Many multicellular organisms have evolved strategies to cope with this lifestyle. Single-celled malaria parasites are no different. An elegant experiment reveals that they respond to the availability of mosquitoes to make the most of seasonal transmission opportunities.
