For malaria elimination efforts, it is important to better understand parasite transmission to mosquitoes and to develop models to allow early clinical evaluation of transmission-blocking interventions. We previously described a Controlled Human Malaria Infection protocol for induction of gametocytemia in malaria naïve volunteers by mosquito bite (CHMI-trans) (Reuling et al., 2018). Here, we compared gametocyte production and infectivity in the CHMI-trans model after bites of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf)- infected mosquitoes to that after intravenous administration...
