| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to identify the parasite gene concerns to infectivity to insect vector using genome wide promoter trap mutagenesis system in malaria parasite, and investigate novel infection mechanism of the parasite to vector.
As a result of mutant screening, we successfully identified the gene concern to transmission between mammalian host and insect vector. Furthermore, we successfully developed the novel mutant parasite constructing method to analyze the gene function.
