Production of Plasmodium vivax sporozoites

Production of Plasmodium vivax sporozoites

This cool video produced by Dr. Nil Gural. It shows you how we produce P. vivax sporozoites. It requires the following not-so-pleasant steps: (1) Forced Mating (2) Access to malaria infected blood from patients (3) On-site feeding of infected blood to female mosquitos (4) Manual dissecting salivary gland to access the sporozoites
