The extravascular compartment of the bone marrow: a niche for Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte maturation?
Abstract Background Plasmodium falciparum immature gametocytes accumulate in the bone marrow, but their exact location in this tissue remains unclear. Methods The stage and deposition pattern of gametocytes was analysed on histological sections of a bone marrow sample collected in a patient with sub...
