1. Carbohydrate-mediated adhesion in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Abstract : Characterization of virulence factors in P. falciparum malaria is essential in order to identify new therapeutic and prophylactic targets. Rosette formation, the binding of uninfected red blood cells to parasite-infected red blood cells, is a P. falciparum virulence phenotype associated with severe clinical manifestations, e. READ MORE

2. Development of a recombinant protein vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Abstract : Malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum is one of the world´s deadliest diseases, killing one to two million children, while another 500 million suffer from clinical attacks every year. Infections caused by P. READ MORE

3. Host cell adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Abstract : Excessive binding of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to the microvascular endothelium (cytoadherence) and to uninfected eryrthrocytes (rosetting) are regarded as key-events in the development of a severe malaria infection. P. falciparum rosetting was confirmed to be associated with the development of cerebral malaria in The Gambia. READ MORE

4. Heparan sulfate dependent sequestration during Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes are able to bind to the microvascular endothelium (cytoadherence), and to uninfected erythrocytes (rosetting) that lead to excessive sequestration of the parasites. This causes obstruction of the deep microvasculature by P. READ MORE

5. Towards understanding the SURFIN protein family and var genes in Plasmodium falciparum
Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for severe malaria, has been shown to use different protein families for its survival and proliferation within the human host. Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), a protein responsible for the cytoadherence of parasitized red blood cells (pRBCs) has been implicated in severe disease. READ MORE
