1. Regulatory immune responses in humans naturally primed to Plasmodium falciparum or vaccinated with tetanum toxoid or purified protein derivative
Abstract : It is well established that the balance between functionally distinct regulatory CD4+ T cells plays a major role in the development of immunity and/or pathogenesis to many different infections. In spite of the importance of Th lineage commitment in disease, the critical questions how the balance between Th1 and Th2 cells is regulated is largely unresolved. READ MORE

2. Genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum infections : influence on protective malaria immunity
Abstract : Detailed knowledge of the interaction between the human host and the antigenic and genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum infections is a prerequisite for understanding the mechanisms underlying acquisition of immunity to malaria. This thesis assessed the diversity of P. READ MORE

3. Structure-Assisted Design of Drugs Towards HIV-1 and Malaria Targets : Applied on Reverse Transcriptase and Protease from HIV-1 and Plasmepsin II from Plasmodium falciparum
Abstract : Globally of today, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and malaria are two of the most threatening diseases known to mankind. The World Health Organization estimated that AIDS and malaria together claimed nearly 4 million lives in 2003 and many more were infected by the causative agent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the Plasmodium falciparum (P.

4. Single nucleotide polymorphisms related to immune responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Abstract : The current research is directed towards dissection of host genetic factors involved in host immune response and the malaria disease outcome. A possible association between FcγRIIa polymorphism and anti-malarial antibody (A.M.A) responses were investigated in Sudanese patients in relation to clinical outcome of falciparum malaria.

5. 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
