Plasmodium gallinaceum: a refractory mechanism of ookinete killing in the mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.

Experimental parasitology - 1 Jun 1995

Abstract excerpt

We have identified a mechanism for refractoriness to a bird malaria, Plasmodium gallinaceum, in the African vector of human malaria, Anopheles gambiae. Oocysts fail to develop in the refractory mosquitoes as a result of ookinete death which occurs within 27 hr of midgut invasion. Ultrastructural studies showed that parasite death occurs while the ookinete lies free in the midgut epithelial cell cytosol, usually...
