Disruption of a <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> gene linked to male sexual development causes early arrest in gametocytogenesis
7 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
A male gametocyte defect in the Plasmodium falciparum Dd2 parasite was previously discovered through the observation that all progeny clones in a Dd2 x HB3 genetic cross were the result of fertilization events between Dd2 female and HB3 male gametes. A determinant linked to the defect in Dd2 was subsequently mapped to an 800-kb segment on chromosome 12. Here, we report further mapping of the determinant to an...
