Abstract
The genomic sequences of the malarial vector, parasite, and host — the three components of the malarial transmission system — have been known for at least two years. It may be possible to counter the disease by harnessing this genomic information to launch a strategic attack on the parasite during vulnerable stages of its life cycle.Keywords
