Genome organization, chromosome translocation and size polymorphism in rodent malaria parasites.
In our laboratory, rodent malaria models are used to investigate processes that underlie cell differentiation with specific emphasis on sexual development. The rodent parasite Plasmodium berghei is particularly suited for this research since the different sexual stages (from young gametocytes to mature ookinetes) can be obtained pure and in large numbers.
