Targeting Gametocytes of the Malaria Parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> in a Functional Genomics Era: Next Steps

Targeting Gametocytes of the Malaria Parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> in a Functional Genomics Era: Next Steps

Mosquito transmission of the deadly malaria parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> is mediated by mature sexual forms (gametocytes). Circulating in the vertebrate host, relatively few intraerythrocytic gametocytes are picked up during a bloodmeal to continue sexual development in the mosq...
