|September 1, 1995
Abstract:
The alternative pathway of complement in the mouse serum significantly reduced, but did not eliminate, the infectivity of Plasmodium yoelii to Anopheles stephensi. The reduction of the infectivity is mainly due to the inability of the zygote to transform into the ookinete in the mosquito midgut.
