<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>: malaria morbidity is associated with specific merozoite surface antigen 2 genotypes (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface antigen 2 (MSA2) is considered a vaccine candidate in a subunit vaccine against blood stage malaria. In order to test if a specific genotype of the highly polym
The Maurer's cleft protein MAHRP1 is essential for trafficking of PfEMP1 to the surface of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected erythrocytes (Publications)
During the intra-erythrocytic development of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite modifies the host cell surface by exporting proteins that interact with or insert into the erythrocyte membrane. These
Molecular genotyping in a malaria treatment trial in Uganda - unexpected high rate of new infections within 2 weeks after treatment (Publications)
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping of malaria parasites in drug efficacy trials helps differentiate reinfections from recrudescences. A combination therapy trial of one (n = 115) or three (n =
Complement factor D, albumin, and immunoglobulin G anti-band 3 protein antibodies mimic serum in promoting rosetting of malaria-infected red blood... (Publications)
Rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (parasitized RBC [pRBC]) with uninfected RBC has been associated in many studies with malaria morbidity and is one form of cytoadherence obs
Evidence of HLA class II association with antibody response against the malaria vaccine SPF66 in a naturally exposed population (Publications)
The antibody response against the malaria vaccine SPf66 and against circumsporozoite (CS) protein has been tested in immune adults from a malaria endemic area in Papua New Guinea. All individuals were
