Sex and death: the effects of innate immune factors on the sexual reproduction of malaria parasites.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Mar 2011

Ramiro Ricardo S, Alpedrinha João, Carter Lucy, Gardner Andy, Reece Sarah E

Abstract excerpt

Malaria parasites must undergo a round of sexual reproduction in the blood meal of a mosquito vector to be transmitted between hosts. Developing a transmission-blocking intervention to prevent parasites from mating is a major goal of biomedicine, but its effectiveness could be compromised if parasites can compensate by simply adjusting their sex allocation strategies. Recently, the application of evolutionary...
