Malaria in pregnancy is associated with placental accumulation of Plasmodium falciparum-
infected erythrocytes (IE) that adhere to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA). Adhesion is mediated …

Chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) is an important receptor for the sequestration of Plasmodium
falciparum in the placenta, but the parasite ligand involved in adhesion has not previously …

Malaria during pregnancy causes serious disease that is associated with sequestration in
the placenta of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes that adhere to several host …

Background Malaria in pregnancy is characterized by accumulation of infected erythrocytes
(IE) in the placenta. The key ligand identified as mediating this process is a Plasmodium …

Protection against maternal malaria has been associated with the acquisition of a specific
antibody response that prevents adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum‐infected erythrocytes …

Acquired protection from Plasmodium falciparum placental malaria, a major cause of
maternal, fetal, and infant morbidity, is mediated by IgG specific for the P. falciparum …

During pregnancy, specific variants of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs)
can accumulate in the placenta through adhesion to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) mediated …

The harmful effects of pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) are engendered by the heavy
sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized RBCs in the placenta. It is well …

Plasmodium falciparum parasites express variant adhesion molecules on the surface of
infected erythrocytes (IEs), which act as targets for natural protection. Recently it was shown …

In areas where Plasmodium falciparum is endemic, pregnant women are at increased risk
for malaria, and this risk is greatest during the first pregnancy. The placenta sequesters …
