Gametocyte Sex Ratio: The Key to Understanding Plasmodium falciparum Transmission?
A mosquito needs to ingest at least one male and one female gametocyte to become infected with malaria. The sex of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes can be determined microscopically but recent transcriptomics studies paved the way for the development of molecular methods that allow sex-ratio assess...
