New Genetic Technique Could Help Identify Potential Drug Targets for Malaria

Caption

Mosquito stage parasites generated by a genetic cross of parasites expressing either red or green fluorescence from the same location in the genome. Green and red parasites are the product of self-fertilization, so express only one fluorescent proteins. Orange parasites represent a cross of two parasites and express both fluorophores during development in the mosquito.
