Molecular approaches to malaria.
Malaria is a serious health problem in developing countries. With the complete sequencing of the genomes of the parasite and of the mosquito vector, malaria research has entered the post-genome era. In this report we summarize the results and new research avenues presented at a recent meeting held with the aim of developing interdisciplinary approaches to combat this disease.
