The study, scheduled for publication on-line in the preview edition of Public Library of Science Biology (PLoS Biology) on August 20, reveals that an unusually high percentage of genes—at least 60 ...

The mosquito-borne infectious disease malaria resulted in about 241 million clinical episodes and 627,000 deaths in 2020.

Understanding more about the parasite’s life cycle, the genes involved, and the factors that control these, can be vital to ongoing malaria research.

The protein that has been identified is called CDC20 and plays a part in the cell division cycle of the malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei which infects mice and rats.
