Transmission of malaria requires that some parasites abandon asexual replication and develop into sexual stages termed gametocytes. The discovery of the transcription factor PfAP2-G as the master regulator of sexual conversion has boosted our understanding of sexual development. The pfap2-g locus is controlled by heterochromatin-based silencing, with only a few parasites activating the locus and committing to sexual development at each asexual cycle. How heterochromatin forms in pfap2-g is currently unknown. Moreover, the initial steps of sexual conversion after pfap2-g activation, together with the biology of sexually committed stages, remain poorly characterized. In this thesis, we identified a new route of sexual conversion involving dir...
