Abstract:
:Malaria remains one of the most significant infectious diseases worldwide. Concordant with scaled intervention efforts and the emphasis of elimination and eradication on the agenda of many malaria control programs, the development of a malaria vaccine that reduces transmission of the parasite from human host to mosquito vector has been incorporated as an important new strategic goal. Transmission of malaria from man to mosquito relies on gametocytes, highly specialized sexual-stage parasites, that once mature, circulate in the peripheral vasculature of the human host. The complex interplay between mature gametocytes, their uptake in the mosquito bloodmeal and forward maturation/fertilization events provide unique opportunities for intervention. Although recent advances have yielded greater understanding into the mechanisms that mediate sequestration of immature gametocytes in the human host, the spatial dynamics of circulating mature gametocytes in the cutaneous microvaculature remains far less defined, which is the focus of this review.
