Detection of Plasmodium Sporozoites in Anopheles Mosquitoes using an Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay

This protocol describes a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect salivary gland sporozoites in mosquitoes. Using easily available monoclonal antibodies, the method enables cost-effective, high-throughput detection of mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium falciparum or Plasmodium vivax. The method is suitable for malaria transmission research, including vector...

Selection of Plasmodium falciparum Parasites for Cytoadhesion to Human Brain Endothelial Cells

An in vitro model for cerebral malaria sequestration is described1. Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells are selected for binding to immortalized human brain microvascular endothelial cells. The selected parasites show a distinct phenotype. The selection process can be applied using various P. falciparum strains and endothelial cell...

Ookluc: A Plasmodium berghei Line for Identifying Transmission-blocking Compounds

Plasmodium sexual development occurs in the mosquito midgut. Targeting the parasite's sexual stages is a promising strategy to block transmission. We developed Ookluc, a transgenic P. berghei expressing nanoluciferase after zygote formation, enabling high-throughput screening of transmission-blocking compounds. This article details the methods for screening using...
