Plasmodium falciparum sexual differentiation in malaria patients is associated with host factors and GDV1-dependent genes

Here, the authors quantify early gametocyte-committed ring (gc-ring) stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites in 260 malaria patients 10 days before maturation to transmissible stage V gametocytes, and show that the ratio of circulating gc-rings is positively correlated with parasitemia and negatively...

Description
Résumé:Here, the authors quantify early gametocyte-committed ring (gc-ring) stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites in 260 malaria patients 10 days before maturation to transmissible stage V gametocytes, and show that the ratio of circulating gc-rings is positively correlated with parasitemia and negatively correlated with body temperature.
