Reverse genetic screen identifies malaria parasite genes required for gametocyte-to-sporozoite development in its mosquito host

C. V. Ukegbu, A. R. Gomes, M. Giorgalli, M. Campos, A. J. Bailey, T. R. Besson, O. Billker, D. Vlachou, G. K. Christophides

This study uses a reverse genetic screen in Plasmodium berghei to identify genes essential for gametocyte-to-sporozoite development in the mosquito Anopheles coluzzii, confirming prior findings and discovering new genes involved in key stages of the parasite lifecycle.

Plasmodium PIMMS43 is required for ookinete evasion of the mosquito complement-like response and sporogonic development in the oocyst

V. Ukegbu, M. Giorgalli, S. Tapanelli, L. D. Rona, A. Jaye, C. Wyer, F. Angrisano, A. M. Blagborough, G. K. Christophides, D. Vlachou

This study identifies PIMMS43 as a key parasite protein enabling evasion of the mosquito complement-like response and sporogonic development, suggesting it as a target for malaria transmission-blocking interventions.
