Revisiting the effect of pharmaceuticals on transmission stage formation in the malaria parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2021-11-19

Abstract excerpt

Malaria parasites rely on specialized stages, called gametocytes, to ensure human-to-human transmission. The formation of these sexual precursor cells is initiated by commitment of blood stage parasites to the sexual differentiation pathway. Plasmodium falciparum , the most virulent of six parasite species infecting humans, employs nutrient sensing to control the rate at which sexual commitment is initiated, and...
