PSOP1, putative secreted ookinete protein 1, is localized to the micronemes of Plasmodium yoelii and P. berghei ookinetes

Mayumi Tachibana et al.

Summary: The development and traversal of Plasmodium parasites in the mosquito midgut is a major bottleneck in the parasite's life cycle. PSOP1 protein is predicted to be involved in migration across the midgut wall, and its localization in micronemes suggests a role in parasite-host interactions during ookinete penetration.

Predicting the public health impact of a malaria transmission-blocking vaccine

Joseph D. Challenger et al.

Summary: Transmission-blocking vaccines for malaria are being tested and their field efficacy is predicted to be higher than in laboratory conditions. Targeting school-aged children is recommended as it can have a significant impact in reducing malaria cases. Utilizing such vaccines alongside existing interventions could have substantial benefits in malaria control.

Pfs230 yields higher malaria transmission-blocking vaccine activity than Pfs25 in humans but not mice

Sara A. Healy et al.

Summary: In this study, the vaccine candidate Pfs230D1-EPA induced stronger serum functional activity in rhesus monkeys and US adults compared to Pfs25, with complement-dependency noted. This suggests that Pfs230D1 may be more suitable for advancing transmission-blocking vaccines for malaria eradication.

Evaluation of two sexual-stage antigens as bivalent transmission-blocking vaccines in rodent malaria

Fan Yang et al.

Summary: Mixing or fusing antigens targeting different stages of sexual development, such as Pbg37 and PSOP25, can lead to stronger transmission-blocking activities and no immunological interference between the antigens. The bivalent vaccines show significantly enhanced transmission-reducing activities in vitro and in vivo, providing a theoretical basis for the development of combination TBVs targeting different sexual stages.

Identification of Three Novel Plasmodium Factors Involved in Ookinete to Oocyst Developmental Transition

Chiamaka V. Ukegbu et al.

Summary: Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite stable numbers of new cases and deaths in recent years, efforts for disease elimination are ongoing but new approaches are needed. Researchers have identified three new genes - PIMMS01, PIMMS57, and PIMMS22 - that play important roles in the formation of ookinetes and could serve as new targets for intervention strategies to block malaria transmission.

Safety and Immunogenicity of ChAd63/MVA Pfs25-IMX313 in a Phase I First-in-Human Trial

Hans de Graaf et al.

Summary: This study conducted a clinical trial on transmission blocking vaccines targeting the sexual-stages of the malaria parasite, using two recombinant viral vectored vaccines encoding Pfs25-IMX313 in healthy malaria-naive adults. While the vaccines were immunogenic, they showed weak transmission reducing activity.
