Abstract

Malaria transmission is achieved by sexual stages, called gametocytes, and the proportion of gametocytes that are male versus female (sex ratio) influences transmission success. In malaria model systems, variation in gametocyte sex ratios can be explained by the predictions of evolutionary sex allocation theory. We test these predictions using natural Plasmodium falciparum infections. The predicted negative correlation between sex ratio and gametocyte density holds: the sex ratio increases when gametocyte densities decrease, and this is most apparent in single genotype infections and in the dry season. We do not observe higher gametocyte sex ratios in mixed compared with single genotype infections.

摘要

疟疾通过有性阶段(称为配子体)传播,配子体中雄性配子体与雌性配子体的比例(性别比例)会影响传播的成功率。在疟疾模型系统中,配子体性别比例的变化可以用进化性别分配理论的预测来解释。我们利用自然感染的恶性疟原虫来验证这些预测。性别比例与配子体密度之间呈负相关的预测结果成立:当配子体密度下降时,性别比例会上升,这在单一基因型感染和旱季中最为明显。我们没有观察到混合感染比单一基因型感染有更高的配子体性别比例。
