Deskripsi

Here, Reader et al. screen the Medicines for Malaria Venture Pandemic Response Box in parallel against Plasmodiumasexual and liver stage parasites, stage IV/V gametocytes, gametes, oocysts and as endectocides. They identify two potent transmission-blocking drugs: a histone demethylase inhibitor ML324 and the antitubercular SQ109.
