Fluorescent <i>Plasmodium berghei</i> sporozoites and pre-erythrocytic stages: a new tool to study mosquito and mammalian host interactions with malaria parasites
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
To track malaria parasites for biological studies within the mosquito and mammalian hosts, we constructed a stably transformed clonal line of Plasmodium berghei, PbFluspo, in which sporogonic and pre-erythrocytic liver-stage parasites are autonomously fluorescent. A cassette containing the structural gene for the FACS-adapted green fluorescent protein mutant 2 (GFPmut2), expressed from the 5' and 3' flanking...
