HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Sanketha Kenthirapalan et al. from the Max Planck InstituteUnit, Berlin, GermanyUniversity of have published the paper: Coppertransporting ATPase is important for malaria parasite fertility, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors show that male and female gametocytes are abundant in cutp- parasites but activation of male microgametes and exflagellation were strongly impaired. The authors provide experimental genetic and pharmacological evidence that a healthy copper homeostasis is critical to malaria parasite fertility of both genders of gametocyte and hence to transmission to the mosquito vector. mpiib-berlin.mpg.de; Tel.
