Characterization of PSOP26 as an ookinete surface antigen with improved transmission-blocking activity when fused with PSOP25

Abstract Background The Plasmodium zygote-to-ookinete developmental transition is an essential step for establishing an infection in the mosquito vector, and antigens expressed during this stage are potential targets for transmission-blocking vaccines (TBVs). The secreted ookinete protein 26 (PSOP26...
