Plasmodium falciparum: Generation of pure gametocyte culture by heparin treatment [PDF]
Experimental Parasitology, 2013 In vitro culture of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes is essential for studying sexual development of the parasite. Here we describe a simple method for producing synchronous gametocyte culture without contamination of asexual stages. This method employs

Gametocyte-Forming and Non-Gametocyte-Forming Clones of Plasmodium Falciparum
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1984Three clones have been prepared from the Honduras I/CDC strain of Plasmodium falciparum by a method of microscopic selection. One of these (HB-2) does not form gametocytes whereas the others (HB-1 and HB-3) do. All three are as resistant to pyrimethamine as the original line, and all three form knobs on the erythrocyte surface.

Gametes and their precursors, the gametocytes, are the very special cell types that Plasmodium developed in the course of evolution to accomplish such key steps in its life cycle and are the subject of this chapter. In the main, cellular and molecular aspects of gametocyte and gamete formation will be covered here.

Gametogenesis in culture by gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum
Nature, 1977CONTINUOUS culture of human malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum, in human red blood cells was first reported by Trager and Jensen1 and subsequently by Haynes and co-workers2. The culture system described by Trager and Jensen supports the asexual multiplication of P.

The Fine Structure of the Gametocytes of an Adeleine Haemogregarine
The Journal of Protozoology, 1967SYNOPSIS. Gametocytes of an unidentified haemogregarine (Sporozoa, Telosporea, Coccidia, Eucoccida, Adeleina, Haemogregarinicae) from the frog Rana montezumae were examined by light and electron microscopy. The fully‐grown gametocytes lay in a vacuole in the erythrocyte, surrounded by a sheath which was probably of parasitic origin.

A Loss of Gametocytes in Plasmodium elongatum
The Journal of Parasitology, 1947The following study grew out of work on the susceptibility of various species of mosquitoes to the avian malarial parasite, Plasmodium elongatum, and its transmission through the mosquito to the canary and the duck. A review of the literature revealed the following references to the sexual forms. P. elongatum was named after its gametocyte (Huff, 1930)

The Optimal Production of Gametocytes byPlasmodium falciparum
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1998We use a simple model of the blood-stage infection dynamics of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to consider the adaptive significance of different rates of conversion from its pathogenic, asexual stages to its transmissible, sexual forms. We find that maximize transmissivity in single-strain infections are generally greater than the highest ...

Observations on the infectiousness of gametocytes in hyperendemic malaria
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1953Abstract 1. (1) There is a correlation between the probability of a mosquito's becoming infected and the gametocyte density of the carrier, when densities are broadly grouped. 2. (2) A small series of experiments in the hyperendemic zone of S. W. Nigeria are reported in which A.

Gene expression in Plasmodium: from gametocytes to sporozoites
International Journal for Parasitology, 2004Completion of the complex developmental program of Plasmodium in the mosquito is essential for parasite transmission, yet this part of its life cycle is still poorly understood. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the identification and characterization of genes expressed during parasite development in the mosquito.
