Gametocyte sex ratio in single-clone infections of the malaria parasite Plasmodium mexicanum.

Parasitology - 1 Nov 2010

Neal A T, Schall J J

Abstract excerpt

Sex ratio theory predicts that malaria parasites should bias gametocyte production toward female cells in single-clone infections because they will experience complete inbreeding of parasite gametes within the vector. A higher proportion of male gametocytes is favoured under conditions that reduce success of male gametes at reaching females such as low gametocyte density or attack of the immune system later in...
