Gametogenesis in malaria parasites is mediated by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Gametogenesis in malaria parasites is mediated by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Malaria parasite transmission requires differentiation of male and female gametocytes into gametes within a mosquito following a blood meal. A mosquito-derived molecule, xanthurenic acid (XA), can trigger gametogenesis, but the signalling events controlling this process in the human malaria parasite...
