The single cell transcriptional signature of sexual commitment in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

2026-08-10

Abstract excerpt

Background Malaria remains a global health challenge, with most fatal cases caused by Plasmodium falciparum in sub-Saharan Africa. A critical bottleneck in the Plasmodium life cycle is the transmission from human to mosquito, which requires a subset of blood stage parasites to switch from asexual to sexual replication in a process known as stage conversion. In P. falciparum , stage conversion is known to be env...
