Cerebral malaria may be the most common non-traumatic encephalopathy in the world. The pathogenesis is heterogeneous and the neurological complications are often part of a multisystem dysfunction. The clinical presentation and pathophysiology differs between adults and children.

Novel use Of Hydroxyurea in an African Region with Malaria (NOHARM): a trial for children with sickle cell anemia [PDF]
Hydroxyurea treatment is recommended for children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) living in high-resource malaria-free regions, but its safety and efficacy in malaria-endemic sub-Saharan Africa, where the greatest sickle-cell burden exists, remain unknown.

Immune Modulation by Plasmodium yoelii: Insights From Lethal and Non‐Lethal Strains
ABSTRACT Malaria pathogenesis is driven by intricate host–parasite interactions that determine immune balance and clinical outcome. The Plasmodium yoelii model, particularly its lethal (17XL) and non‐lethal (17XNL) strains, provides a robust framework to investigate these dynamics.

Endothelial transcriptomic analysis identifies biomarkers of severe and cerebral malaria
Malaria can quickly progress from an uncomplicated infection into a life-threatening severe disease. However, the unspecificity of early symptoms often makes it difficult to identify patients at high risk of developing severe disease.

Age as a Risk Factor for Severe Manifestations and Fatal Outcome of Falciparum Malaria in European Patients: Observations from TropNetEurop and SIMPID Surveillance Data [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated that age is a risk factor for severe falciparum malaria in nonimmune patients. The objectives of this study were to reevaluate previous findings with a larger sample and to find out how strongly clinical outcomes for ...

Disruption of Parasite hmgb2 Gene Attenuates Plasmodium berghei ANKA Pathogenicity [PDF]
Eukaryotic high-mobility-group-box (HMGB) proteins are nuclear factors involved in chromatin remodeling and transcription regulation. When released into the extracellular milieu, HMGB1 acts as a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in the ...

Background Malaria remains a major global health burden, with red blood cell (RBC) polymorphisms conferring partial protection. However, the epistatic interactions among co‐inherited RBC polymorphisms are poorly understood. We aimed to characterise how epistatic interactions among malaria‐protective RBC polymorphisms modify risk across the infection‐to‐
