Abstract: Individuals living in malaria endemic areas become clinically immune after multiple re-infections over time and remain infected without apparent symptoms. However, it is unclear why a long period is required to gain clinical immunity to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofad074
Abstract: Abstract Background Coagulopathy is common in acute symptomatic Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and the degree of coagulation abnormality correlates with parasitemia and disease severity. Chronic asymptomatic malaria has been associated with increased morbidity. However, the role… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundDisruption of malaria control strategies during the West African 2014–2016 Ebola epidemic led to an increase in malaria-attributable mortality. However, recent data on malaria infection in vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, are lacking in… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundThe disease burden of Plasmodium falciparum malaria illness is generally estimated using one of two distinct approaches: either by transforming P. falciparum infection prevalence estimates into incidence estimates using conversion formulae; or through adjustment of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-019-3063-9
Abstract: Background Because clustering of Plasmodium falciparum infection had been noted previously, the clustering of infection was examined at four field sites in West Africa: Dangassa and Dioro in Mali, Gambissara in The Gambia and Madina… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.780525
Abstract: Recent malaria is associated with an increased risk of systemic bacterial infection. The aetiology of this association is unclear but malaria-related haemolysis may be one contributory factor. To characterise the physiological consequences of persistent and… read more here.
