In malaria, the red blood cell-infectious form of the Plasmodium parasite causes illness and
the possible death of infected hosts. The initial infection in the liver caused by the mosquito …

For those stricken with malaria, the classic clinical symptoms are caused by the parasite's
cyclic infection of red blood cells. However, this erythrocytic phase of the parasite's life cycle …

Malaria infection is caused by sporozoites, the life cycle stage of Plasmodium that is
transmitted by female anopheline mosquitoes. The inoculated sporozoites migrate in the …

Malaria infection is initiated when Plasmodium sporozoites are injected into a host during
the bite of an infected mosquito. In the mammal, the sporozoite must rapidly reach an …

The generation of rodent Plasmodium strains expressing fluorescent proteins in all life cycle
stages has had a big impact on malaria research. With this tool in hand, for the first time it …

Plasmodium sporozoites are inoculated into the skin of the mammalian host as infected
mosquitoes probe for blood. A proportion of the inoculum enters the bloodstream and goes …

In their infection cycle, malaria parasites undergo replication and population expansions
within the vertebrate host and the mosquito vector. Host infection initiates with sporozoite …

The malaria sporozoite, the parasite stage transmitted by the mosquito, is delivered into the
dermis and differentiates in the liver. Motile sporozoites can invade host cells by disrupting …

Plasmodium sporozoites are the product of a complex developmental process in the
mosquito vector and are destined to infect the mammalian liver. Attention has been drawn to …

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 …
