Transcriptomics and proteomics reveal two waves of translational repression during the maturation of malaria parasite sporozoites

Abstract

Here, the authors report transcriptomes and proteomes of oocyst sporozoite and salivary gland sporozoite stages in rodent-infectious Plasmodium yoelii parasites and human infectious Plasmodium falciparum parasites and define two waves of translational repression during sporozoite maturation.
