cAMP-Signalling Regulates Gametocyte-Infected Erythrocyte Deformability Required for Malaria Parasite Transmission.

TL;DR: Pharmacological agents that raise cAMP levels in transmissible stage V gametocytes render them less deformable and hence less likely to circulate through the spleen, and represent new candidate drugs to block transmission of malaria parasites, such as sildenafil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasmodium falciparum STEVOR phosphorylation regulates host erythrocyte deformability enabling malaria parasite transmission

TL;DR: Evidence is produced that the increase of GIE stiffness induced by sildenafil (Viagra) is dependent on STEVOR phosphorylation status and on another independent mechanism, and new insights are provided into mechanisms by which phosphodiesterase inhibitors may block malaria parasite transmission.
