Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), a family of adhesins of
the falciparum species of the malaria parasite, is exposed on the surface of the infected …

The human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is able to evade spleen-mediated
clearing from blood stream by sequestering in peripheral organs. This is due to the adhesive …

Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains one of the world's leading causes of human
suffering and poverty. Each year, the disease takes 1–3 million lives, mainly in sub-Saharan …

Background Placental malaria is typified by selective clustering of Plasmodium falciparum in
the intervillous blood spaces of the placenta. Sequestration of malaria parasite in the human …

Placental malaria (PM) is characterized by infected erythrocytes (IEs) that selectively bind to
chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) and sequester in placental tissue. Variant surface antigen 2-CSA …

Pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) is a serious consequence of sequestration of
Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes (PE) in the placenta through adhesion to …

Plasmodium falciparum–infected erythrocytes bind to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) in the
placenta via the VAR2CSA protein, a member of the P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane …

ABSTRACT VAR2CSA, a member of the Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane
protein 1 (PfEMP1) family, is a leading candidate for use in vaccines to protect first-time …

Molecular interactions between the VAR2CSA protein, expressed on the surface of
Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes, and placental chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) are …

The Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 (PfEMP1) family of
cytoadherent proteins has a central role in disease from malaria infection. This highly …
