Parent parasite used to introduce the genetic modification | |
Rodent Malaria Parasite | P. berghei |
Parent strain/line | P. berghei ANKA |
Name parent line/clone | P. berghei ANKA 676m1cl1 (RMgm-29) |
Other information parent line | 676m1cl1 (RMgm-29) is a reference ANKA mutant line which expresses GFP-luciferase under control of a constitutive promoter. This reference line does not contain a drug-selectable marker (PubMed: PMID: 16242190). |

Principal name | ap2-sp2 |
Alternative name | |

Phenotype | |
Asexual blood stage | Not different from wild type |
Gametocyte/Gamete | Not different from wild type |
Fertilization and ookinete | Not different from wild type |
Oocyst | Normal numbers of oocysts with a size comparable to wild type oocysts. Oocyst development was blocked at the sporoblast stage. The oocysts ceased to mature at a point when sporozoites were beginning to form around the edges of cytoplasmic islands and remained arrested at this point until at least day 22 post-infection. |
Sporozoite | Normal numbers of oocysts with a size comparable to wild type oocysts. Oocyst development was blocked at the sporoblast stage. The oocysts ceased to mature at a point when sporozoites were beginning to form around the edges of cytoplasmic islands and remained arrested at this point until at least day 22 post-infection. No salivary gland sporozoites. |
Liver stage | Not tested |
