Transition from Plasmodial Hypnozoite to Schizont Demonstrated

Autor: Miles B. Markus

Publikováno v: Trends in parasitology. 36(5)

The progression to schizont formation of individual activated hypnozoites has been observed in vitro for the first time by Voorberg-van der Wel et al. Green-fluorescent protein-positive hypnozoites turned red-fluorescent (mCherry) upon activation. Th
