2 Figure 1 The Ookinete and Its Vulnerability to TEP1
Arising from the fusion of male and female gametocytes, the zygote yields ookinetes that penetrate the wall of the midgut asynchronously, over a period of 16 to 20 hr. This process is resisted by “basal immunity,” under the control of transcription factors Rel1 and Rel2, and leads to a state of “induced immunity.” Induced immunity permits replenishment of parasite-killing factors such as TEP1.
