The repeat region of the circumsporozoite protein is critical for sporozoite formation and maturation in Plasmodium.

The repeat region of the circumsporozoite protein is critical for sporozoite formation and maturation in Plasmodium.

The circumsporozoite protein (CSP) is the major surface protein of the sporozoite stage of malaria parasites and has multiple functions as the parasite develops and then migrates from the mosquito midgut to the mammalian liver.
