Abstract
⺠A novel Plasmodium transmission-stage screening assay is reported. ⺠The assay used in this study is high throughput, easy to perform and reliable. ⺠The assay is able to identify both transmission-blocking drugs and antibodies. ⺠The utility of the assay was demonstrated by screening 40 known and marketed antimalarial drugs. ⺠The assay will be of use in identifying new transmission-blocking interventions.
