Plasmodium sporozoites are deposited in the skin of their vertebrate hosts through the bite
of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Most of these parasites find a blood vessel and …

Malaria, which is caused by Plasmodium spp., starts with an asymptomatic phase, during
which sporozoites, the parasite form that is injected into the skin by a mosquito, develop into …

Malaria infection starts when the sporozoite stage of the Plasmodium parasite is injected into
the skin by a mosquito. Sporozoites are known to traverse host cells before finally invading a …

For the establishment of a successful infection, ie, long-term parasitism and a complete life
cycle, parasites use various diverse mechanisms and factors, which they may be inherently …

Immunization with Plasmodium sporozoites that have been attenuated by γ-irradiation or
specific genetic modification can induce protective immunity against subsequent malaria …

Gene expression in Plasmodium parasites undergoes significant changes in each
developmental stage, but the transcription factors (TFs) regulating these changes have not …

Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites that develop and mature inside an Anopheles mosquito
initiate a malaria infection in humans. Here we report the first proteomic comparison of …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in our understanding of malaria parasite
molecular biology. To a large extent, this progress follows significant developments in …

Plasmodium spp. undergo a complex obligate developmental cycle within their invertebrate
vectors that enables transmission between vertebrate hosts. This developmental cycle …

Molecular mimicry is one of the powerful stratagems that pathogens employ to colonise their
hosts and take advantage of host cell functions to guarantee their replication and …
