This study examines the expression and localization of PEXEL-tagged Plasmodium berghei schizonts, utilizing mCherry and GFP fluorescence markers. We analyzed the genetic expression of pbanka_136550 and its impact on parasite development at several time points post-infection. Using Hoechst staining to visualize nuclei, we distinguished between uninfected and infected red blood cells, and quantified the fluorescence levels of schizonts at varying stages—ring, trophozoite, and mature forms. Statistical significance was determined with p-values less than 0.0001.
