DNA synthesis in gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum

Parasitology, 1988
SUMMARYThe DNA content of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes during intra-erythrocytic development and during gametogenesis was established by cytophotometric methods. Intra-erythrocytic micro- and macrogametocytes (Stage I-Stage VB) contain about twice the amount of DNA of haploid sporozoites and ringstages, indicating that DNA is synthesized during ...

Seroprevalence of antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum transmission-blocking target proteins Pfs230D1M and Pfs48/45 in Tanzanian populations of diverse malaria transmission intensity

Frontiers in Immunology
Transmission-blocking vaccines are among the novel tools under development for malaria control and elimination. Understanding the human immune response to the sexual stages of Plasmodium falciparum is essential for progressing transmission-blocking ...

P. falciparum PEBP protein is dispensable during asexual and sexual stages of development

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by protozoan parasite Plasmodium and transmitted by mosquitoes, remains a significant threat to health worldwide, especially in the face of emerging drug resistance.

Target-agnostic identification of human antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum sexual forms reveals cross-stage recognition of glutamate-rich repeats

eLife
Circulating sexual stages of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) can be transmitted from humans to mosquitoes, thereby furthering the spread of malaria in the population. It is well established that antibodies can efficiently block parasite transmission.

An Overview of the Neglected Modes of Existence in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites

Microorganisms
Haemosporidian parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) are diverse obligatory heteroxenous protists, which infect all major groups of terrestrial vertebrates and use dipterous blood-sucking insects as vectors.

Plasmodium falciparum PP1 phosphatase is a key regulator of malaria parasite transmission

mBio
For the successful transmission of malaria parasites from humans to mosquitoes, Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be taken up by a mosquito. Once ingested, they are then activated into gametes to continue the

The three Plasmodium falciparum Aurora-related kinases display distinct temporal and spatial associations with mitotic structures in asexual blood stage parasites and gametocytes

mSphere
Aurora kinases are crucial regulators of mitotic cell cycle progression in eukaryotes. The protozoan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum replicates via schizogony, a specialized mode of cell division characterized by consecutive asynchronous rounds of
