Fig. 5From: Plasmodium berghei Brca2 is required for normal development and differentiation in mice and mosquitoesPbBrca2 is essential for sporozoite development in the salivary gland. Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes were fed on infected mice, and the sporozoites were microscopically examined at day 28 post-infection. Arrowheads indicate enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-positive sporozoites, which were detected for WT parasites only. For other abbreviations, see Figs. 1 and 2Back to article page
