  2. 6. Studies on malaria blood stage infection and host responses

    Author : Lili Xu; Klavs Berzins; Adrian Luty; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; cytokines; parasite ligands; merozoite released soluble proteins MRSPs ; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Biosciences;

    Abstract : The challenges in controlling malaria infectious disease are increasing due to drug resistance and incomplete immunity induced by malaria infection. Moreover there is no effective vaccine available against malaria blood stage infection. READ MORE

  4. 7. Relation of nutritional status, immunity, hemoglobinopathy and falciparum malaria infection

    Author : Alice Nyakeriga; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Thomas Williams; Clara Menendez; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Iron deficiency; nutrition; anthropometric indexes; malaria; hemoglobinopathies; immunity; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : The interaction between nutritional status and malaria disease is complex and often controversial. Nutritional deficiencies (macro- or micro-nutrient) are thought to lead to malnutrition with subsequent susceptibility to malaria infection. On the other hand severe malaria or repeated malaria infections lead to malnutrition. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background: Great strides have been made in combating malaria, however, the indicators in sub Saharan Africa still do not show promise for elimination in the near future as malaria infections still result in high morbidity and mortality among children. The abundance of the malaria-transmitting mosquito vectors in these regions are driven by climate suitability. READ MORE

  7. 10. Novel immunization strategies and interethnic differences in response to malaria infection

    Author : Charles Arama; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Kai Matuschewski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; Immunization; Ethnic groups; vaccines; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : A better understanding of the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in host resistance to malaria is essential to unravel the complex interactions between the host and the parasite. This would improve the design of malaria vaccines. READ MORE
