Abstract
Reduction in severe disease and death from falciparum malaria in Africa requires new, more effective and inexpensive public health measures. The completed genomes of Plasmodium falciparum and its vector Anopheles gambiae represent a big step toward the discovery of these needed tools.Keywords
