Large deletion variants in a <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> ookinete protein gene and associations with different endemic populations and mosquito vectors
2026-08-05
Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium falciparum PIMMS43 gene encodes an ookinete protein that is important for mosquito infection. Here, large indel variants within the coding sequence are identified, and frequencies in natural infections of humans and mosquitoes investigated. Comparing long-read genome sequences in a small panel of P. falciparum strains and related species revealed a 150 bp deletion in the central part of the gene i...
