The complexities of malaria disease manifestations with a focus on asymptomatic malaria

Dolie D Laishram, Patrick L Sutton, Nutan Nanda, Vijay L Sharma, Ranbir C Sobti, Jane M Carlton, Hema Joshi Malaria Journal 2012, 11:29 (31 January 2012)

The pathogenesis of malaria is complex, and the clinical presentation of disease ranges from severe malaria, to mild and uncomplicated, to asymptomatic infections. Asymptomatic malaria remains a major challenge for malaria control programmes.

Pattern of humoral immune response to Plasmodium falciparum blood stages in individuals presenting different clinical expressions of malaria

Fabiana MS Leoratti, Rui R Durlacher, Marcus VG Lacerda, Maria G Alecrim, Antonio W Ferreira, Maria CA Sanchez, Sandra L Moraes Malaria Journal 2008, 7:186 (24 September 2008)

The results show that even in populations from regions with unstable malaria transmission, a certain degree of naturally acquired immunity can develop when the right antibodies are produced. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of different isotypes in immunity to malaria
