Characterization of Plasmodium berghei Pbg37 as Both a Pre- and Postfertilization Antigen with Transmission-Blocking Potential

Transmission-blocking vaccines (TBVs) interrupting malaria transmission are an integrated tool for malaria eradication. We characterized a sexual-stage-specific gene (PBANKA_060330) from Plasmodium berghei and studied its potential for use as a TBV. This gene, referred to as pbg37, encodes a protein...
