pubmed-article:3914863 | pubmed:abstractText | Corticosteroids were found to enhance gametocyte production in vitro in two gametocyte-producing chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. No significant enhancement was observed in two chloroquine-sensitive strains. Gametocytes were not induced by corticosteroids in a fifth strain which had lost the ability to produce gametocytes. | lld:pubmed |
