  1. 11. Malaria control measures : impact on malaria and anaemia in holoendemic area of rural coastal Tanzania

    Författare :Zul Premji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is a major public health problem in tropical Africa. It is particularly the main killer disease in children below five years and its health impact is most severe in the rural areas. Malarial anaemia is believed to be the main complication in high endemic areas. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Evolutionary genomics of host-microbe interactions

    Författare :Elin Videvall; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; host; microbiota; avian malaria; ostrich; parasite; dual RNA-seq;

    Sammanfattning : The microbes living inside hosts have highly important consequences for host health and fitness. From the host’s perspective, some microbes exhibit mutualistic tendencies, others parasitic, and some commensal, but this is context-dependent and opportunistic lifestyles are widespread in nature.

  4. 13. Telomeres in ecology and evolution: Hypotheses and connections between telomere length, infections and life history trade-offs

    Författare :David Gomez Blanco; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; telomeres; life history; telomere elongation; telomere shortening; early-life telomere length; critical threshold; malaria infection; great reed warbler; Acrocephalus arundinaceus;

    Sammanfattning : Studying life history strategies is crucial for understanding the diversity among organisms. The trade-offs in traits related to survival, self-maintenance and reproduction play an important role in the variation of life histories and can be adjusted in response to environmental and physiological factors.

  5. 14. Methods for studying memory B-cell immunity against malaria

    Författare :Peter Jahnmatz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases and the search for an effective vaccine is highly warranted. Memory B cells (MBCs) and the antibodies they produce, once activated, is believed to play an important role in the protective immunity against malaria, but the mechanism of acquiring and maintaining these cells is poorly understood.

  7. 15. Parasite virulence and disease severity in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Ulf Ribacke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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
