Comparative transcriptomics of female and male gametocytes in Plasmodium berghei and the evolution of sex in alveolates
Abstract Background The clinical symptoms of malaria are caused by the asexual replication of Plasmodium parasites in the blood of the vertebrate host. To spread to new hosts, however, the malaria parasite must differentiate into sexual forms, termed gametocytes, which are ingested by a mosquito vec...
