gametocyte

Typically there are four female gametocytes to each male gametocyte.

Its only effect is mediated through a reduction in the gametocyte transmission.

It has a strong blood schizonticidal action and reduces gametocyte transmission.

In stage two the gametocyte enlarges and becomes D shaped.

The female gametocyte often has a subterminal nucleus.

A gametocyte development 1 gene (Gdv1) which encodes a perinuclear protein has been identified.

The osmophilic bodies are thought to be involved in egress of the gametocyte from the erythrocyte.

In stage four the erythrocyte is clearly deformed and the gametocyte is elongated.

In the male gametocyte exhibit the is a dramatic reduction in ribosomal density.

A gametid is a kind of germ cell that results from the meiosis of a gametocyte.

During early sexual development the gametocyte has a similar morphology to a trophozoite but subsequently undergoes a dramatic shape change.

These structures persist from the time of gametocyte activation until the zygote transforms into an ookinete.

Other studies have already shown the potential of co-artemether combination therapy to both cure malaria and reduce gametocyte carriage, acknowledged the authors.

They are connected to the gametocyte surface by ducts and are almost absent after transformation into the female gamete.

Two gametocyte forms are recognised: an elongated (sail-like) form and a compact spherical form.

The mutant gametocytes have delayed DNA replication and gametocyte formation.

The chromatin may be positioned anywhere in the gametocyte, which is a rare feature for macrogametocytes of avian hemosporidians.

The male gametocyte produces a large number of gametes and the zygote gives rise to an oocyst which is the infective stage.

A gametocyte (G. gametēs, partner + kytos, hollow) is a name given to a parasite's gamete-forming cells.

A gametocyte in Plasmodium Falciparum is a cell specializing in the transition between the human and the mosquito host.

Altogether, the six-dose regimen of co-artemether was highly effective at reducing the prevalence and duration of gametocyte carriage.

These compounds produce a very rapid therapeutic response, are active against parasites resistant to multiple drugs, are well tolerated, and reduce gametocyte carriage.

Summary: gametocyte (microgamete or macrogamete) zygote ookinete oocyst sporozoites.

The gametocyte usually lies along the host cell nucleus but young gametoctyes may adhere to the host cell membrane.
