Whoa, that's crazy. That will change potentially hundreds of millions of lives, if it can be produced on a mass scale.

And it's also crazy because I thought Malaria just lived in the body, popping up to kick you in the ass irregularly.

Nobel Prize level achievement. I hope it can be distributed cheaply. An added side effect is that it will help end sickle cell anemia. The reason SCA is so wide spread is that carriers of the genetic marker are resistant to malaria and thus have a better chance of survival to reproduce.
