ontogeny of ookinete of plasmodium berghei (nk 65): a scanning electron microscopic study.	the ontogeny of ookinete of plasmodium berghei (nk 65) was studied in vector anopheles stephensi fed on infected mastomys natalensis. the round zygote transformed into an ookinete after passing through following stages-1 gram-seed shaped zygote, 2 comma-shaped stage, 3 semilunar and 4 banana shaped ookinete. each fully formed ookinete had a 'conule' at the anterior end of the body. in some ookinetes under sem a depression was observed in the posterior half of the body. the function of the depres ...	1989	2681394
studies on the infectivity of gametocytes of plasmodium berghei (nk 65) in anopheles stephensi.	the infectivity of gametocytes of plasmodium berghei (nk 65) has been studied in laboratory bred anopheles stephensi. mosquitoes were fed daily on infected male and female mastomys natalensis and subsequent development of the oocysts was monitored in the midguts. maximum number of oocysts were found in mosquitoes which were fed on infected female mastomys on d8 and in male mastomys on d7 post-inoculation. during the next peak of gametocytaemia, very few oocysts developed. these findings suggest ...	1992	1296945
