Experimental Models of Microvascular Immunopathology: The Example of Cerebral Malaria. [PDF]
Human cerebral malaria is a severe and often lethal complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Complex host and parasite interactions should the precise mechanisms involved in the onset of this neuropathology.

Microglia exhibit distinct transcriptional and morphological heterogeneity in experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) compared to physiological microglia. A unique subtype of ECM‐associated microglia, characterized by CXCL10highTNFαhighKi67+, mediates the recruitment and sustained activation of CD8+ T cells through ongoing interactions, exacerbating ...

Imaging features of fulminant cerebral malaria: A case report
Cerebral malaria is associated with high mortality and morbidity in patients infected with Plasmodium Falciparum. The mechanisms of cerebral malaria include sequestration of parasitized red blood cells in brain capillaries, production of cytokines ...

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 ...

A human complement receptor 1 polymorphism that reduces Plasmodium falciparum rosetting confers protection against severe malaria [PDF]
Parasitized red blood cells (RBCs) from children suffering from severe malaria often adhere to complement receptor 1 (CR1) on uninfected RBCs to form clumps of cells known as "rosettes." Despite a well documented association between rosetting and severe ...

Cerebral malaria admissions in Papua New Guinea may show inter-annual cyclicity: An example of about a 1.5-year cycle for malaria incidence in Burundi [PDF]
Best available descriptions of malaria incidence and mortality dynamics are important to better plan and evaluate the implementation of programs to monitor (e.g., remote sensing) and control the disease, especially in endemic zones.
