Black carbon (BC) is a useful marker of inefficient combustion-related particles; however, ambient air quality data a...

VAR2CSA Serology to Detect Plasmodium falciparum Transmission Patterns in Pregnancy

Emerg. infect. dis; 25 (10), 2019
Pregnant women constitute a promising sentinel group for continuous monitoring of malaria transmission. To identify antibody signatures of recent Plasmodium falciparum exposure during pregnancy, we dissected IgG responses against VAR2CSA, the parasite antigen that mediates placental sequestration. We use...
