Simultaneous_host_parasite_RNA_sequencing_of_mosquito_transmistted_rodent_malaria_in_two_host_backgrounds. Simultaneous_host_parasite_RNA_sequencing_of_mosquito_transmistted_rodent_malaria_in_two_host_backgrounds

The aim of this study is to explore the role of differences in host genetic background which will supplement our current analysis of a timecourse of P.chabaudi infection in C57BL/6 mice over the peak of parasitemia. We have also published a paper showing that infections using mosquito-transmitted parasites have a quite different effect on the host immune system (Spence et al, Nature, 2013) and using this study we can compare the effects in host and parasite of serially blood passaged parasites versus mosquito transmitted parasites. This is in collaboration with Jean Langhorne at NIMR.This data is part of a pre-publication release.
