Conformational change of the Plasmodium TRAP I domain is essential for sporozoite migration and transmission of malaria

F. Frischknecht, F. Braumann, D. Klug, J. Kehrer, C. Lu, T. A. Springer

This study shows that conformational changes in the Plasmodium TRAP I-domain are essential for sporozoite gliding, salivary gland entry, and malaria transmission.

The salivary protein Saglin facilitates efficient midgut colonization of Anopheles mosquitoes by malaria parasites

D. Klug, A. Gautier, E. Calvo, E. Marois, S. A. Blandin

This study shows that the salivary protein Saglin aids Plasmodium colonization of the mosquito midgut but not salivary glands, and is ingested with blood to affect parasite development.

A toolbox of engineered mosquito lines to study salivary gland biology and malaria transmission

D. Klug, K. Arnold, R. Mela-Lopez, E. Marois, S. Blandin

The paper develops fluorescent reporter lines in Anopheles coluzzii to study salivary gland biology and malaria transmission.

Cationic charge and polyspecificity of an integrin domain regulates infectivity of malaria parasites

D. Klug, S. Goellner, J. Sattler, L. Strauss, J. Kehrer, K. Beyer, M. Reinig, M. Singer, C. Lu, T. A. Springer, F. Frischknecht

This study shows that the I-domain of TRAP in Plasmodium parasites mediates adhesion and that its cationic charge and polyspecificity are critical for infectivity.
