Malaria parasites adopt a characteristic banana shape prior to sexual recombination; without this shape change disease transmission via mosquitoes cannot occur. This project will use advanced imaging technologies to study sexual recombination of malaria with a view to preventing the millions of deaths due to malaria each year.

疟疾寄生虫在有性重组之前采用特征性的香蕉形状;如果没有这种形状变化，就不会发生通过蚊子传播疾病的情况。该项目将利用先进的成像技术研究疟疾的性重组，以防止每年数百万人死于疟疾。
