Phagocytosis and activation of bone marrow‐derived macrophages by Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes

Phagocytosis and activation of bone marrow‐derived macrophages by Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes

Abstract Background The innate immune response against various life cycle stages of the malaria parasite plays an important role in protection against the disease and regulation of its severity. Phagocytosis of asexual erythrocytic stages is well documented, but little and contrasting results are av...
