The claudin-like apicomplexan microneme protein is required for gliding motility and infectivity of Plasmodium sporozoites

M. Loubens, C. Marinach, C.-E. Paquereau, S. Hamada, B. Hoareau-Coudert, D. Akbar, J.-F. Franetich, O. Silvie

This paper shows that CLAMP is essential for Plasmodium sporozoite infectivity, gliding motility, and microneme secretion, and is required for invasion of mosquito salivary glands and mammalian hepatocytes.

The AMA1-RON complex drives Plasmodium sporozoite invasion in the mosquito and mammalian hosts

P. Fernandes, M. Loubens, R. Le Borgne, C. Marinach, B. Ardin, S. Briquet, L. Vincensini, S. Hamada, B. Hoareau-Coudert, J.-M. Verbavatz, A. Weiner, O. Silvie

This study shows that the AMA1-RON complex is essential for Plasmodium sporozoite invasion of mosquito salivary glands and mammalian hepatocytes, supporting its role in parasite transmission.

Plasmodium sporozoites require the protein B9 to invade hepatocytes

P. Fernandes, M. Loubens, C. Marinach, R. Coppee, M. Grand, T.-P. Andre, S. Hamada, A.-C. Langlois, S. Briquet, P. Bun, O. Silvie

This study identifies B9 as a critical protein for Plasmodium sporozoite invasion of hepatocytes, revealing structural and functional similarities to merozoite invasion complexes.

The dimerisable Cre recombinase allows conditional genome editing in the mosquito stages of Plasmodium berghei

P. Fernandes, S. Briquet, D. Patarot, M. Loubens, B. Hoareau-Coudert, O. Silvie

This paper implements a dimerisable Cre recombinase system in Plasmodium berghei to enable conditional genome editing in both mammalian and mosquito stages of the parasite.
