Differential expression of var subgroups and PfSir2a genes in afebrile Plasmodium falciparum malaria: a matched case-control study

Malar. j. (Online); 18 (1), 2019
Background: Poor knowledge on the afebrile Plasmodium falciparum biology limits elimination approaches to target asymptomatic malaria. Therefore, the association of parasite factors involved in cytoadhesion, parasite multiplication and gametocyte maturation with afebrile malaria was assessed. Methods: Pl...

Severity of anaemia is associated with bone marrow haemozoin in children exposed to Plasmodium falciparum

Br. j. haematol; 164 (6), 2014
There are no large-scale ex vivo studies addressing the contribution of Plasmodium falciparum in the bone marrow to anaemia. The presence of malaria parasites and haemozoin were studied in bone marrows from 290 anaemic children attending a rural hospital in Mozambique. eripheral blood infections were det...
