Live-cell fluorescence imaging of microgametogenesis in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
7 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Formation of gametes in the malaria parasite occurs in the midgut of the mosquito and is critical to onward parasite transmission. Transformation of the male gametocyte into microgametes, called microgametogenesis, is an explosive cellular event and one of the fastest eukaryotic DNA replication events known. The transformation of one microgametocyte into eight flagellated microgametes requires reorganisation of...
