A divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein promotes Plasmodium ookinete infection of the mosquito Author summary Malaria parasites complete their life-cycle within mammalian and mosquito hosts requiring specialised forms to invade and establish infection in host tissue. In order to transmit to the...

Delighted to report our publication on a divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein that regulates malaria transmission to mosquitoes. Great work by Domi Kwecka , @jennyregan.bsky.social @choel Kim #malaria #ookinete #mosquitoes #signalling journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

A divergent cyclic nucleotide binding protein promotes Plasmodium ookinete infection of the mosquito Colonisation of the mosquito by the malarial parasite is critically reliant on the invasive ookinete stage. Ookinete invasion of mosquito is coordinated by the apical complex, a specialised parasite s...

📣📣 🦟 Wondering what the putative EPAC in Plasmodium does. See our new study characterising a cryptic cyclic nucleotide binding protein required for mosquito infection by the ookinete. Well done Domi Kwecka and team #ookinete #malaria
