Identification of xanthurenic acid as the putative inducer of malaria development in the mosquito
Article Abstract:
Research has identified xanthurenic acid as being a gametocyte-activating factor in malaria disease transmission. Gametogenesis can be induced in vitro with low concentrations of xanthurenic acid at pH concentrations of between 7.4 and 8.0 to 8.2. Further drugs research will be based on these findings in a bid to stop malaria transmission.
