Ageing of Plasmodium falciparum malaria sporozoites alters their motility, infectivity and reduces immune activation in vitro
Sporozoites (SPZ), the infective form of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, can be inoculated into the human host skin by Anopheline mosquitoes. These SPZ migrate at approximately 1 µm/s to find a blood vessel and tr... (Source: Malaria Journal)
