The article discusses how malaria sporozoites lacking a cysteine protease become trapped in the oocyst. It references the study "A Malarial Cysteine Protease Is Necessary for Plasmodium Sporozoite Egress From Oocysts," by Ahmed S. I. Aly and Kai Matuschewksi published within the issue. The study found that the life cycle of the parasites ends after being trapped. It is said that the study implies that Plasmodium egress is an active mechanism requiring the cysteine protease to destroy the oocyst wall. |
