Defining the signature of deformable and infectious Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes

2026-05-14

Abstract excerpt

Background One of the major challenges for malaria elimination is combating the highly efficient spread of the disease. Despite progress in understanding the development of malaria transmission stages, there remain many unanswered questions about how gametocytes transition from being immature to infectious. In Plasmodium falciparum, immature gametocytes are rigid and sequester outside of circulation in the extrav...
