Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium encodes a family of six secreted multi-domain adhesive proteins, termed PCCps, which are released from gametocytes during emergence within the mosquito midgut. The expression and cellular localization of PCCp proteins predict a role either in gametocyte development or within the mosquito midgut during the transition from gametes into the ookinete stage. However, mutant parasites lacking expression of...
