Gametocyte sex ratio of a malaria parasite: response to experimental manipulation of parasite clonal diversity.

Parasitology - 1 Jan 2004

Osgood S M, Schall J J

Abstract excerpt

Sex ratio theory posits that the adaptive proportion of male to female gametocytes of a malaria parasite within the vertebrate host depends on the degree of inbreeding within the vector. Gametocyte sex ratio could be phenotypically flexible, being altered based on the infection's clonal diversity, and thus likely inbreeding. This idea was tested by manipulating the clonal diversity of infections of Plasmodium...
