Genetic polymorphisms linked to susceptibility to malaria

Adel Driss, Jacqueline M Hibbert, Nana O Wilson, Shareen A Iqbal, Thomas V Adamkiewicz, Jonathan K Stiles Malaria Journal 2011, 10:271 (19 September 2011)

This review describes and discusses human gene polymorphisms identified thus far that have been shown to be associated with susceptibility or resistance to P. falciparum malaria.

Whole blood angiopoietin-1 and -2 levels discriminate cerebral and severe (non-cerebral) malaria from uncomplicated malaria

Andrea L Conroy, Erin I Lafferty, Fiona E Lovegrove, Srivicha Krudsood, Noppadon Tangpukdee, W Conrad Liles, Kevin C Kain Malaria Journal 2009, 8:295 (15 December 2009)

Angiopoetin can be measured in whole blood in patients with malaria. This means that, if whole blood can be used, there is a better chance that a rapid assay can be devised to develop as a disease marker for severe malaria.

Antibody responses to the merozoite surface protein-1 complex in cerebral malaria patients in India

Naomi W Lucchi, Jon Tongren, Vidhan Jain, Avinash C Nagpal, Christian W Kauth, Ute Woehlbier, Hermann Bujard, Aditya P Dash, Neeru Singh, Jonathan K Stiles, Venkatachalam Udhayakumar Malaria Journal 2008, 7:121 (4 July 2008)

It remains unclear why only a subset of patients develops cerebral malaria complications, including neurological sequelae or death. This study compares the immune response to MSP in patients with uncomplicated malaria and in CM patients, suggesting that a dysregulation in the generation of antibody may exist during CM.
