  2. 1. Diversity and dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Author : Anna Färnert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; diversity; genotyping; PCR; msp1; msp2; glurp; dynamics; synchronicity; consistency; clinical protection; transmission; Tanzania; travellers;

    Abstract : The epidemiology of genetic diversity of malaria parasites in relation to clinical parameters, acquisition of immunity and malaria transmission has implications for the development and evaluation of control measures such as vaccines and drugs. The diversity and dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum infections were therefore studied with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based genotyping method targeting three highly polymorphic genes coding for potential vaccine candidate antigens: the two merozoite surface proteins msp1 block 2 and msp2 and the glutamine rich protein (glurp).

    Abstract : Avian Malaria infects thousands of species of birds across the Aves class. The most widespread (geographically and phylogenetically)morphological species is Plasmodium relictum, and of that, the mitochondrial lineage of SGS1 is the most common and invasive. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immunity and immunological surveillance for malaria elimination in tropical islands

    Author : Zulkarnain Md Idris; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Malaria remains one of the most significant global public health challenges. Nearly half of the world’s population remains at risk, largely in African Region. In the past decade, considerable progress has been made in the global fight to control and eliminate malaria. READ MORE
