Übersetzung für 'ookinete' von Englisch nach Deutsch

ookinete

Ookinet {m}biol.

• Gametocytes then mature in the insect midgut into macrogametocytes (female) with red-staining nuclei and microgametocytes (male) with pale-staining diffuse nuclei: these fuse to form an ookinete.
• When gametocytes are ingested by a mosquito, the gametocytes enter the mosquito gut where fertilisation occurs forming a zygote known as an ookinete.
• As the name indicates, Aconoidasida (from Greek: negative prefix "a-" = "lacking") lack a conoid (they do have one only during the ookinete stage) in contrast to the class Conoidasida which have one throughout their life cycle.
• The zygote (or ookinete) grows within the cell and undergoes meiosis followed by several rounds of mitosis.
• The fertilized macrogamete now becomes an ookinete, which penetrates the body of the vector.
