Comparative intravital imaging of human and rodent malaria sporozoites reveals the skin is not a species‐specific barrier
Abstract Malaria infection starts with the injection of Plasmodium sporozoites into the host’s skin. Sporozoites are motile and move in the skin to find and enter blood vessels to be carried to the liver. Here, we present the first characterization of P. falciparum sporozoites in vivo, analyzing the...
