Viability and Infectivity of Plasmodium vivax Gametocytes in Short-Term Culture

Viability and Infectivity of Plasmodium vivax Gametocytes in Short-Term Culture

The control and elimination of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax both represent a great challenge due to the biological aspects of the species. Gametocytes are the forms responsible for the transmission of the parasite to the vector and the search for new strategies for blocking transmission are es...
