Motility is essential for malaria parasites in order to achieve vector colonization, natural transmission, and vertebrate host pathogenesis. Forward locomotion and host cell invasion in Plasmodium motile stages are dependent on the same actin-myosin based motor machinery. In this proposal, we aim to improve the current understanding of ookinete and sporozoite motility in order to design t…
Effective transmission blocking strategies to substantially reduce Plasmodium prevalence in mosquito populations are considered crucial for efforts to eliminate malaria. The efficiency of infection of the mosquito midgut is critical for malarial parasites to succeed in vector transmission. When mosquitoes feed on an infected host, sexual stages of malarial parasites are ingested in the mo…
We had previously identified a heat shock protein involved in the migration and natural transmission of the malaria parasite. To further characterize the regulation of the molecular motor, we search for additional members of this family protein. A new small chaperone protein was identified, which is expressed at different parasite stages. Interestingly, this molecule of 17 kDa (Hsp17) is …
