Understanding transmission biology at an individual level is a key component of intervention strategies that target the spread of malaria parasites from human to mosquito. Recent advances in the field are gradually revealing mechanisms underlying sexual commitment, gametocyte sequestration, and dynamics of transmissible stages; however, key questions on fundamental gametocyte biology still remain.

Matthias Marti will give an open seminar in order to tackle this issue in an era of elimination. He is on the faculty of the University of Glasgow and leads Marti Lab at the Harvard School of Public Health.
