Dynamics of Gametocytes amongPlasmodium falciparumClones in Natural Infections in an Area of Highly Seasonal Transmission
15 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of gametocyte production in Plasmodium falciparum clones were studied in inhabitants of an area of highly seasonal malaria transmission in eastern Sudan. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to detect expression of 2 genes that encode gametocyte-specific proteins, pfs25 and pfg377, in parasites sampled from individuals throughout one year. Some patients who acquired infections...
