Sporozoite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the life-cycle of apicomplexan protozoa, sporozoites (sporos, seed + zoon, animal) are cells that infect new hosts. In the parasites that cause malaria ...
Protein Targets Identified For Malaria Vaccine After maturing, infective cells (sporozoites) travel throughout the body via the bloodstream, which leads to disease and fatal complications. ...
Researchers characterize potential protein targets for malaria ... Once injected by a mosquito, parasites migrate to the liver where they mature and then their sporozoites (infective cells) are released into the blood, causing disease and fatal complications. Human malaria is caused by Plasmodium ...
Hutchinson Center researcher receives $100000 Grand Challenges ... The $100000 grant will provide seed money to develop a way to generate large numbers of infective malaria sporozoites in the lab. The goal is one day to use modified but still infective sporozoites in a whole-cell malaria vaccine. ...
