Pregnancy-associated malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites
binding specifically to chondroitin sulfate A in the placenta. This sequestration of parasites is …

Members of the Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family
expressed on the surface of malaria-infected erythrocytes mediate binding of the parasite to …

Background Rosetting is a Plasmodium falciparum virulence factor implicated in the
pathogenesis of life-threatening malaria. Rosetting occurs when parasite–derived P …

In the Saimiri sciureus monkey, erythrocytes infected with the varO antigenic variant of the
Plasmodium falciparum Palo Alto 89F5 clone bind uninfected red blood cells (rosetting) …

Over 50 million women are exposed to the risk of malaria during pregnancy every year.
Malaria during pregnancy is a leading global cause of maternal morbidity and adverse …

Background Placental malaria occurs when Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes
sequester in the placenta. Placental parasite isolates bind to chondroitin sulphate A (CSA) …

Background. Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes adhere to chondroitin sulfate A
(CSA) to sequester in the human placenta, and pregnancy malaria (PM) is associated with …

Pregnant women are infected by specific variants of Plasmodium falciparum that adhere and
accumulate in the placenta. Using serological and molecular approaches, we assessed the …

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 …

The high molecular weight, multidomain VAR2CSA protein mediating adhesion of
Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is the leading candidate for a …
