Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop gene replacement techniques for investigating the role of specific microneme proteins in host cell invasion. To assess the importance to the parasite of individual microneme proteins, a strategy of gene replacement will be used to generate knock-out mutants that are genetically null for specific microneme genes. The phenotypes of mutant parasites lines generated in the project will then be analysed in detail.
