top of page
Phenotype
Asexual blood stageStrong RFP (RedStar) expression in all stages except for male gametes; Increase of RFP expression during development from ring form into mature trophozoite/immature schizont; decrease of RFP expression in mature schizonts. Strong RFP-expression in female gametocytes.
Gametocyte/GameteRFP (RedStar) expression in female and male gametocytes. Strong RFP-expression in female gametocytes. Higher expression in females, compared to males.
Fertilization and ookineteRFP (RedStar) expression in ookinetes.
OocystRFP (RedStar) expression in oocysts.
SporozoiteRFP (RedStar) expression in sporozoites.
Liver stageRFP (RedStar) expression during liver stage development.
Additional remarks phenotype

Mutant/mutation
The mutant expresses RFP (RedStar) under the control of the constitutive promoter of the elongation factor 1 alpha (eef1a) gene of P. berghei.

Phenotype
RFP is expressed in all life cycle stages and expression of the transgene has no influence on parasite viability and infectivity.

Additional information
This mutant has been used to visualise and analyse liver stage development (Sturm, A. et al., (2008). Protist, Nov. 19.
