    Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum is the cause of the most severe malaria inhumans. Due to the rapid resurgence of malaria in many parts of theworld extensive efforts have been made during the last few years todefine several P.falciparum antigens for inclusion in a vaccine. READ MORE

  5. 3. Translational regulation in Plasmodium falciparum

    Author : Sherwin Chan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum is the causative agent of the most malignant form of human malaria, which remains as one of the most devastating infectious diseases. In face of a continuous international effort to eliminate the disease, the parasite not only has evaded a total obliteration, but has now evolved resistance to many of the available drugs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Human genetic factors involved in immunity to Plasmodium falciparum infection

    Abstract : This study investigated the associations between IL-4 -590 C/T and IL-10 -1087 A/G polymorphisms and malariometric indexes in the Fulani and the Dogon ethnic groups living in sympatry in Mali and differing in susceptibility to malaria. The correlations between antibodies level and parasitological data as well as splenomegaly were assessed. READ MORE
