Experimental Genetics Validation of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Gametogenesis Essential Protein 1 (GEP1) as a Transmission Blocking Target
2025-05-29
Abstract excerpt
Transmission of Plasmodium parasites to the Anopheles vector critically depends on swift activation of mature gametocytes upon entry into the mosquito midgut. Induction of gametogenesis requires two simultaneous stimuli, a temperature drop and xanthurenic acid. Previous work in the murine malaria model Plasmodium yoelii identified a protein, termed gametogenesis essential protein ( GEP1 ), with a suggested rol...
