  1. 1. The Multilateral Initiative on Malaria - malariaforskningens cirkulatoriska system : The Multilateral Initiative on Malaria - the circulatory system of malaria research

    Författare :Gunilla Priebe; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; ANT; Latour; malaria endemic areas; malaria research; MIM; research capacity building;

    Sammanfattning : Leaning on the poststructuralist perspective Actor Network Theory (ANT) the French philosopher Bruno Latour describes – in his model “The Circulatory System of Scientific Facts” – how scientific facts are part of a societal system and thus depend (for their status as legitimate representations of the world) on the other inhabitants of that system, i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Relation of nutritional status, immunity, hemoglobinopathy and falciparum malaria infection

    Författare :Alice Nyakeriga; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Thomas Williams; Clara Menendez; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Iron deficiency; nutrition; anthropometric indexes; malaria; hemoglobinopathies; immunity; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : The interaction between nutritional status and malaria disease is complex and often controversial. Nutritional deficiencies (macro- or micro-nutrient) are thought to lead to malnutrition with subsequent susceptibility to malaria infection. On the other hand severe malaria or repeated malaria infections lead to malnutrition. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Human candidate polymorphisms and malaria susceptibility in sympatric ethnic groups, The Fulani and The Dogon of Mali

    Författare :Bakary Maiga; Ann-Kristin Östlund Farrants; Lars Hviid; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Malaria; Fulani; Dogon; Blood group; SNPs; IL-4; FcγRIIa; antibody level; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : In malaria endemic regions, resistance to malaria constitutes a critical selective pressureon genetic polymorphisms that regulate immune defense and inflammatory pathways.Differences in malaria susceptibility between sympatric ethnic groups have been described inMali. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection

    Författare :Helena Helmby; Edvard Pearce; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is the largest parasitic disease in the world and is caused by the protozoon Plasmodium. The most severe form in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity to malaria involves both cell-mediated and humoral responses and develops slowly over a period of ten to fifteen years, requiring repeated infections. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Malaria during pregnancy and childhood : A focus on soluble mediators and neutrophils

    Författare :Stéphanie Boström; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Maria Yazdanbakhsh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasmodium falciparum; pregnancy; childhood; neutrophils; biomarkers; cytokines; chemokines; antibodies; Fulani; Dogon; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : In areas where malaria is endemic, pregnant women and children bear the main burden of severe and life-threatening malarial disease. The aim of this work was to study the impact of Plasmodium falciparum infection on inflammatory responses in pregnant women and children residing in African countries. LÄS MER
