Sydney scientist discovers genes linking malaria parasites to male contraception potential

Sydney scientist Dr Claire Sayers identified genes critical to malaria parasite reproduction, potentially opening new avenues for male contraception. The genes control the parasite's rapid sexual reproduction in mosquitoes and are surprisingly active in human testicles. The discovery could lead to dual-purpose treatments targeting both malaria transmission and male fertility.
