This is a major medical discovery, that will hopefully lead to better treatment and control of Malaria (A world class killer of over a million humans per-year).

Researchers Find Essential Proteins for
Final Stage of Malaria Transmission Cycle

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified, for the first time, the molecular components that enable the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium to infect the salivary glands of the Anopheles mosquito—a critical and final stage for spreading malaria to humans.
