| Phenotype | |
| Asexual blood stage | Expression of the c-myc-tagged protein (MIF-MYC) throughout asexual stages; IFA analysis using c-myc antibodies showed low staining in early ring forms. Staining in trophozoites and schizonts appeared to be restricted to parasitophorous vacuole. |
| Gametocyte/Gamete | Normal gametocytes; gametocytes expressed the c-myc tagged proteins as shown by IFA analysis using c-myc antibodies |
| Fertilization and ookinete | Not tested |
| Oocyst | Not tested |
| Sporozoite | Normal sporozoite numbers and sporozoite infectivity to mice |
| Liver stage | Normal sporozoite numbers and sporozoite infectivity to mice. High expression of MIF::myc in liver stages (in vitro) |
| Additional remarks phenotype | Mutant/mutation Protein (function) Phenotype Analyses of mosquito and liver stages: not published (yet). Analyses performed in 2020 in Leiden: Normal sporozoite numbers and sporozoite infectivity to mice. High expression of MIF::myc in liver stages (in vitro) Other mutants |
