1. Variant antigens at the infected red cell surface in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Disease severity in Plasmodium falciparum infections is, to a large extent, a consequence of the parasite's efficient escape from die human host defences. Sequestration and antigenic variation are two evasion mechanisms featured by P.falciparum. LÄS MER
2. Parasite virulence and disease severity in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Malaria stands out as one of the most important infectious diseases and one of the world s leading causes of death. Plasmodium falciparum is the parasite responsible for the great majority of severe disease syndromes and mortality, and affects mainly children and pregnant women. Despite intensive research efforts, the understanding of P. LÄS MER
3. Pursuing the fever trail : pathogenesis of blood-stage P. falciparum malaria and pregnancy
Sammanfattning : The burden of the most virulent form of human malarias, Plasmodium falciparum, is concentrated among young children and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. Excessive sequestration of parasite-infected red blood cells (pRBCs) in the capillary beds of different organs is the hallmark of P. LÄS MER
4. Periodontal disease in adolescents with Down syndrome
Sammanfattning : Characterization of virulence factors in P. falciparum malaria is essential in order to identify new therapeutic and prophylactic targets. Rosette formation, the binding of uninfected red blood cells to parasite-infected red blood cells, is a P. falciparum virulence phenotype associated with severe clinical manifestations, e. LÄS MER
5. Carbohydrate-mediated adhesion in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Characterization of virulence factors in P. falciparum malaria is essential in order to identify new therapeutic and prophylactic targets. Rosette formation, the binding of uninfected red blood cells to parasite-infected red blood cells, is a P. falciparum virulence phenotype associated with severe clinical manifestations, e. LÄS MER
