A 3D culture model facilitates mass production of in vitro Plasmodium falciparum haemolymph-like sporozoites

Abstract Background The in vitro cultivation of individual stages of the Plasmodium falciparum mosquito life cycle is notably challenging. The main difficulty is replicating the intricate nutrient and metabolite exchanges necessary for oocyst development and sporozoite (SPZ) formation in the three-d...
