ACTs are known to be highly effective on asexual stages of the malaria parasite. Malaria transmission and the spread of resistant parasites depend on the infectivity of gametocytes. The effect of the current ACT regimens on gametocyte infectivity is unclear %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6295776/
