Best Image of MAM2008 Competition

It was an extremely tough contest, but the winner is..........

Noriko Okamoto, School of Botany, The University of Melbourne

for her image of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes at different development stages of development.

Noriko's image will appear as the front cover of the special issue of Trends in Parasitology which will feature advances in molecular approaches in malaria since MAM2004. Noriko also wins a one-year gratis subscription to Trends in Parasitology. We would like to thank everyone who took part in the competition and submitted images. The standard was excellent.
