Malaria control and elimination is threatened by the spread of insecticide resistance and behavioral adaptation of vectors. Whether mass administration of ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug that also kills mosquitoes feeding on treated persons, can reduce malaria transmission is unclear.

Pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are a common cause of severe, often fatal, inherited metabolic disease. A reproductive care pathway was implemented to provide women carrying pathogenic mtDNA variants with reproductive options. A total of 22 women with pathogenic mtDNA variants have commenced or completed pronuclear transfer (and thus receipt of a mitochondrial donation), and there have been 8 live births. All 8 children were healthy at birth, with no or low levels of mtDNA heteroplasmy in blood. Hyperlipidemia and cardiac arrhythmia developed in a child whose mother had hyperlipidemia during pregnancy; both of the child's conditions responded to treatment. Infant myoclonic epilepsy developed in another child, with spontaneous remission. At the time of this report, all the children have made normal developmental progress.

Children born to women who carry pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are at risk for a range of clinical syndromes collectively known as mtDNA disease. Mitochondrial donation by pronuclear transfer involves transplantation of nuclear genome from a fertilized egg from the affected woman to an enucleated fertilized egg donated by an unaffected woman. Thus, pronuclear transfer offers affected women the potential to have a genetically related child with a reduced risk of mtDNA disease.
