\'PfPuf1 disruption did not interfere with the asexual erythrocyte cycle of the parasite but resulted in an approximately tenfold decrease of mature gametocytes. In the PfPuf1-disrupted lines, gametocytes appeared normal before stage III but subsequently exhibited a sharp decline in gametocytemia. This was accompanied by a concomitant accumulation of dead and dying late-stage gametocytes, which retained normal gross morphology. In addition, significantly more female gametocytes were lost in the PfPuf1-disrupted lines during development, resulting in a reversed male-to-female sex ratio.\'

Lower numbers of oocysts and salivary gland sporozoites compared to wild type (although not significant!). Sporozoites are infective to mice although parasite liver loads after intravenous inoculation of sporozoites are 4x reduced compared to wild type. Sporozoites showed normal invasion of and development in HepG2 cells in vitro.
