Review   Open Access

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.

The Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein-1 19 KD antibody response in the Peruvian Amazon predominantly targets the non-allele specific, shared sites of this antigen

Patrick L Sutton, Eva H Clark, Claudia Silva, OraLee H Branch Malaria Journal 2010, 9:3 (4 January 2010)

The authors point out that vaccine development must overcome strain-specific responses and they offer interesting data from the Peruvian Amazon on the development of diversity in an area that had eliminated malaria for 30 years before it re-emerged.

Temporal stability of naturally acquired immunity to Merozoite Surface Protein-1 in Kenyan Adults

Arlene E Dent, Kiprotich Chelimo, Peter O Sumba, Michele D Spring, Brendan S Crabb, Ann M Moormann, Daniel J Tisch, James W Kazura Malaria Journal 2009, 8:162 (16 July 2009)

A very useful study quantifying the stability of immunological responses to MSP-1 over time, which will inform the design and analysis of studies to investigate immunity in the field.
