<i>Plasmodium</i> actin-like proteins are essential for DNA segregation during male gametogenesis and malaria transmission

2025-02-24

Abstract excerpt

Protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause malaria and involve infection of multiple hosts and cell types during the life cycle. Producing sexually fit gametocytes is essential for transmitting the Plasmodium parasite into an anopheline mosquito vector. After the uptake of malaria parasites, male gametocytes undergo three rounds of DNA replication to produce eight nucleated flagellar gametes. Here, we rep...
