21. Plasmodium falciparum malaria and anaemia in childhood
Sammanfattning : Childhood anaemia represents a major health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. The anaemia is multifactorial and the result of a synergism between infectious diseases, nutritional deficiencies and inherited red cell disorders. LÄS MER
22. New strategies and tools for Plasmodium falciparum case management and surveillance in the era of imminent resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapy in Tanzania
Sammanfattning : Artemether-lumefantrine has been an efficacious first line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Tanzania since its introduction in 2006. Interest has developed in understanding the observation of high residual PCR determined positivity rates on day 3 after supervised artemether-lumefantrine treatment in the magnitude of almost 30% in previous assessments from 2015 in Bagamoyo district, Tanzania.

23. Host cell adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
24. Antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to protection against the disease
Sammanfattning : Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum may be obtained after repeated exposure to infection. Several studies indicate that immunity against the blood stages of the P. Falciparum infection is mainly antibody mediated. LÄS MER
25. Heparan sulfate dependent sequestration during Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes are able to bind to the microvascular endothelium (cytoadherence), and to uninfected erythrocytes (rosetting) that lead to excessive sequestration of the parasites. This causes obstruction of the deep microvasculature by P. LÄS MER
