2. In Vitro Studies of Factors Potentially Affecting Plasmodium Falciparum Infection : (Heparin and Anti-P. falciparum Immune Responses)
Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum malaria is considered one of the major infectious diseases in humans, with regard to mortality and morbidity. Growing resistance of malaria to most anti-malaria drugs and of the Anopheles mosquitoes to insecticides have resulted in a global resurgence of the disease. READ MORE

3. T cell and antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to disease susceptibility
Abstract : Malaria antigen-induced polarization of T cells into effectors Th1 and/or Th2 cells and their subsequent release of cytokines is known to affect antibody production. This thesis includes studies on early innate responses to the parasite, with a focus on γδT cells, and acquired specific responses in African sympatric ethnic tribes. READ MORE

4. Effects of DNA damage and vesicular exchange in P. falciparum
Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum causes human malaria and is a global leading cause of mortality from parasitic infections. While decades of concerted effort has yielded significant result in reducing the endemicity, there is evidence of a recent resurgence in transmission intensity. READ MORE
