Analysis of sex-specific lipid metabolism in <i>P. falciparum</i> gametocytes points to importance of sphingomyelin for gametocytogenesis
2021-11-03
Abstract excerpt
Male and female Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes are the parasite lifecycle stage responsible for transmission of malaria from the human host to mosquito vector. Not only are gametocytes able to survive in radically different host environments, but they are also precursors for male and female gametes that reproduce sexually soon after ingestion by the mosquito. Here we investigate the sex-specific lipid metaboli...
