Identification of a PH domain-containing protein which is localized to crystalloid bodies of Plasmodium ookinetes
Abstract Background For the success of the malaria control and eradication programme it is essential to reduce parasite transmission by mosquito vectors. In the midguts of mosquitoes fed with parasite-infected blood, sexual-stage parasites fertilize to develop into motile ookinetes that traverse mid...
