Heterochromatin dynamics during the initial stages of sexual development in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2024-03-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Asexual replication of Plasmodium falciparum in the human blood results in exponential parasite growth and causes all clinical symptoms of malaria. However, at each round of the replicative cycle, some parasites convert into sexual precursors called gametocytes, which are essential for transmission to mosquito vectors. After sexual conversion, parasites develop through the sexual ring stage and...
