Communications made by this parasite was conducted to replicate and increase the possibility of parasites to be transmitted to another human being. This discovery is expected to provide a way for researchers to make anti-malarial drug that could cut the communication lines of the parasite.
The results that the malaria parasite can 'talk' to each other in the human body was discovered by researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in collaboration with researchers at the University of Melbourne, as reported by Sky News.
Research also shows that the communication signal appears when the parasite has completed stages of their lives. This signal is then transferred to a mosquito that will spread the deadly disease.
This of course makes the researchers were quite surprised to learn that working in groups as well as parasites of mosquitoes to spread the disease.
