The Case for the Use of PPARγ Agonists as an Adjunctive Therapy for Cerebral Malaria
Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection associated with high mortality even when highly effective antiparasitic therapy is used.

Evolution of Resistance to Avian Malaria Infection in an Endemic Hawaiian Honeycreeper
Hawaiian honeycreepers, a group of endemic song birds, represent one of the most stunning examples of an adaptive radiation. An evolutionary history devoid of malaria‐causing parasites has made them incredibly susceptible to disease. This work sought to identify genomic correlates of avian malaria infection.

Comparison of all-cause and malaria-specific mortality from two West African countries with different malaria transmission patterns. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a leading cause of death in children below five years of age in sub-Saharan Africa. All-cause and malaria-specific mortality rates for children under-five years old in a mesoendemic malaria area (The Gambia) were compared with ...

It is well established that IFN-γ is required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection of C57BL/6 mice. However, the temporal and tissue-specific cellular sources of IFN-γ during P.

Influences of intermittent preventive treatment and persistent multiclonal Plasmodium falciparum infections on clinical malaria risk. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) of malaria involves administration of curative doses of antimalarials at specified time points to vulnerable populations in endemic areas, regardless whether a subject is known to be infected.

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.

Activation of transforming growth factor beta by malaria parasite-derived metalloproteinases and a thrombospondin-like molecule [PDF]
Much of the pathology of malaria is mediated by inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 12, interferon gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha), which are part of the immune response that kills the parasite.
