PfMAP-2 is essential for male gametogenesis in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Abstract In malaria parasites, male gametogenesis is a proliferative stage essential for parasite transmission to the mosquito vector. It is a rapid process involving three rounds of genome replication alternating with closed endomitoses, and assembly of axonemes to produce eight flagellated motile...
