Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes: their longevity and infectivity
Parasitology, 1977 The longevity and infectivity of isolated populations of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes were studied. Following chloroquine treatment gametocyte numbers fell with a constant rate of loss over a period of 16–24days; the populations had a half-life of 2·4 days. The sex ratio stayed constant throughout at 4 female:1 male.

Gametocytes, sporozoites and liver schizonts.
South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1974 Plasmodium falciparum differs from other human species of Plasmodium in the short, limited exo-erythrocytic stage in the life cycle, which is an apparent disadvantage in surviving through a prolonged non-transmission season such as occurs throughout much of tropical Africa.

Genotyping Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes using amplicon deep sequencing
Malaria JournalBackground Understanding the dynamics of gametocyte production in polyclonal Plasmodium falciparum infections requires a genotyping method that detects distinct gametocyte clones and estimates their relative frequencies. Here, a marker was identified and
