Effect of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention on Immune Markers of Exhaustion and Regulation [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Abstract Background Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a novel strategy to reduce malaria infections in children. Infection with Plasmodium falciparum results in immune dysfunction characterized by elevated expression of markers associated with exhaustion, such as PD1 and LAG3, and regulatory ...
