Detection of infectious versus inactivated sporozoites.
Viability of cryopreserved sporozoites (A) and inactivation of heat-treated sporozoites (B) was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy (DeltaVision Core Microscope System with Coolsnap HQ camera and 100x/1.40 oil objective) using Sytox Blue (0.1% in PBS).

Salivary gland-specific P. berghei reporter lines enable rapid evaluation of tissue-specific sporozoite loads in mosquitoes [PDF]
Malaria is a life-threatening human infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Levels of the salivary gland sporozoites (sgs), the only mosquito stage infectious to a mammalian host, represent an important cumulative index of <i>Plasmodium</i&

Grey bars show how many volunteers received bites from mosquitoes with ≤10 salivary gland sporozoites. Black dots (and line) show model predictions for the mean time to patency for volunteers with different number of (≤10) bites.

Serial Analysis of Gene Expression in salivary gland sporozoites [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The invasion of Anopheles salivary glands by Plasmodium sporozoites is an essential step for transmission of the parasite to the vertebrate host. Salivary gland sporozoites undergo a developmental programme to express genes required for their

Plasmodium berghei rhoptry neck protein 6 maintains parasite infectivity and virulence
Apicomplexan parasites possess unique secretory organelles called rhoptries, which are reservoirs for rhoptry neck proteins (RONs) and rhoptry bulb proteins (ROPs) that aid in host cell attachment, invasion, and intracellular proliferation. In Plasmodium

It is currently unknown whether all Plasmodium falciparum-infected mosquitoes are equally infectious. We assessed sporogonic development using cultured gametocytes in the Netherlands and naturally circulating strains in Burkina Faso.

. The malaria transmission potential of wild, infective Anopheles from western Kenya was evaluated by determining the number of sporozoites transmitted in vitro by salivation when their mouthparts were inserted into capillary tubes containing either ...

Invasion capacity of Wt and Δp52 sporozoites in primary human hepatocytes in vitro.
(A) Intra (In) and extracellular (Ex) sporozoites 3 hrs after incubation of sporozoites with primary human hepatocytes in culture. Sporozoites were first stained with anti-PfCSP antibodies (red). Then cells were permeabilised and sporozoites were stained

CS-RIImut Oocyst Sporozoites Are Not Released from the Midguts
Represented in each graph are the mean numbers of sporozoites per mosquito at different days PI. Each number is calculated based on an average of 20 mosquitoes.(A) Numbers of oocyst sporozoites per mosquito from CS-WT– and CS-RIImut–infected mosquitoes ...
