In most cases, there was only one abnormal gametocyte per gonad follicle, and one to five infected gametocytes per section. |
Gametocyte dynamics and the role of drugs in reducing the transmission potential of Plasmodium vivax. |
Meanwhile the gametocyte is becoming spherical, and its changes in shape aid in setting it free from the shrivelled host-cell. |
It corresponds to the frequency of human carrying gametocytes as well as the average gametocyte density. |
The discrepancy between gametocyte carrier status and gametocyte infectivity can be determined by membrane feeding mosquitoes on the patient red blood cells using either the patient's own serum or non-infected control serum. |
This abnegates unequivocal conclusions on the role of asexual parasite density in gametocyte production with our data. |
