Plasmodium actin-like proteins 3 and 5a are essential for subsequent steps of mosquito infection

Caroline Busse, Yukino Kobayashi, Andrea Diers, Annika M. Binder, Friedrich Frischknecht, Ross G. Douglas

This study investigates the role of Plasmodium Alp3 and Alp5a in mosquito infection, finding that Alp5a is critical for sporozoite formation and oocyst development, while Alp3 is essential for ookinete penetration.
