1. Antigenic variation in relapsing fever Borrelia
Abstract : The spirochete Borrelia hermsii avoids the immune response of its mammalian host through multiphasic antigenic variation. Serotype specificity is determined by Variable major proteins (Vmp), in the outer membrane. READ MORE

2. Endothelial cytoadherence, rosetting and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Abstract : Excessive sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (pRBC) and uninfected erythrocytes directly blocks the microcirculation and precipitates severe symptoms from the affected organ and is thereby thought to be responsible for the severe complications which may occur during P. falciparum infection.

3. Virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria : mechanisms of PfEMP1-mediated rosetting
Abstract : Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases in the world and the Plasmodium falciparum parasite is the causative agent of most of the severe cases. The pathogenesis of the disease is complex but sequestration and hence microvascular obstruction is associated with virulence of the parasite. READ MORE

4. Malaria and polypeptides of Plasmodium falciparum at the infected erythrocyte surface
Abstract : Malaria is one of the top three most lethal infectious diseases in the world after tuberculosis and HIV. The disease is caused by intracellular parasites of the genus Plasmodium spp. READ MORE

5. 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
