  1. 26. Exploring B cell responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Caroline Rönnberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains one of the most devastating infectious diseases today. Small children in sub-Saharan Africa carry the heaviest burden of morbidity and mortality. Immunity to malaria is not well understood, although humoral immunity has proven an integral part of protection from disease. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Surface antigens and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Johan Normark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum is an intracellular protozoan that may cause severe forms of malaria. It is a major world health hazard and reaps the highest toll among the children and pregnant mothers of the developing world. An Anopheles mosquito vector injects the pathogen when taking a blood meal. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Functional antibody responses to the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite

    Författare :Hodan Ahmed Ismail; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum is a leading cause of death among children under the age of five and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. More than one third of the world’s population is at risk of contracting malaria, and 70 % of the cases are found in sub-Saharan Africa. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Malarial anaemia : the potential involvement of Plasmodium falciparum rhoptry proteins

    Författare :Nancy Awah; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria remains a challenging health problem in malaria endemic regions. Infection with malaria invariably leads to anaemia. The groups at risk of developing malarial anaemia include children below the age of five years and pregnant women, especially primigravidae. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Studies on Plasmodium falciparum asexual blood stage antigens : RAP-2/RSP-2 and Pf332 in focus

    Författare :Nancy Awah; Klavs Berzins; Marcel Hommel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunity; malaria; RBCs; anaemia; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The life cycle of the malaria parasite is very complex and provides a number of potential targets for vaccination. In this thesis, data on two plasmodial asexual blood stage antigens (RAP-2 and Pf332) are presented. LÄS MER
