In the quiet of the night, as mosquitoes buzz, a silent and potentially deadly dance unfolds. A minuscule bite, nearly imperceptible, becomes the gateway for the Plasmodium parasite to invade the human body, setting the stage for malaria. In this intricate interplay of life, Steve Haase, a biologist at Duke University, delves deep into the mysterious world of Plasmodium biological clocks. Haase’s team has made a groundbreaking discovery: Plasmodium vivax, one of the most common malaria parasites, synchronizes its gene expression with that of its human host.
