Generation of Transgenic Human Malaria Parasites With Strong Fluorescence in the Transmission Stages

2018-12-18

Abstract excerpt

Malaria parasites have a complex life cycle that includes specialized stages for transmission between their mosquito and human hosts. These stages are an understudied part of the lifecycle yet targeting them is an essential component of the effort to shrink the malaria map. The human parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the majority of deaths due to malaria. Our goal was to generate transgenic P. falc...
