Phenotype | |
Asexual blood stage | Not different from wild type |
Gametocyte/Gamete | Not different from wild type |

Additional remarks phenotype | Mutant/mutation See also mutant RMgm-4998 lacking expression of PSOP26/PIMMS57 protein where they found a (slightly) different phenotype ('wild type-like ookinete production but reduced oocyst numbers'). See also mutant RMgm-5001 where the found evidence for expression in (the membrane of) ookinetes of PSOP26/PIMMS57 |
