Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.
