One hundred and twenty-five million women in malaria-endemic areas become pregnant
each year (see Dellicour et al. PLoS Med 7: e1000221 [2010]) and require protection from …

Understanding of the biological basis for susceptibility to malaria in pregnancy was recently
advanced by the discovery that erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum …

Cytoadhesion of infected red blood cells (iRBC) is mediated through parasite‐encoded,
clonally variant surface antigens (VSA) and is a central process in the pathogenesis of …

In Plasmodium falciparum–endemic areas, pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) is an
important health problem. The condition is precipitated by accumulation of parasite-infected …

That humans in endemic areas become immune to malaria offers encouragement to the
idea of developing protective vaccines. However natural immunity is relatively inefficient …

Malaria remains a global health burden with Plasmodium falciparum accounting for the
highest mortality and morbidity. Malaria in pregnancy can lead to the development of …

Despite significant reductions in morbidity and mortality secondary to availability of effective
combination anti‐retroviral therapy (cART), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection …

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family members mediate
receptor-and tissue-specific sequestration of infected erythrocytes (IEs) in malaria. Antibody …

Background Pregnancy-associated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum adherence to
chondroitin sulfate A in the placental intervillous space is a major cause of low birthweight …

Plasmodium falciparum‐infected erythrocytes sequester from blood circulation by binding
host endothelium. A large family of variant proteins mediates cytoadherence and their …
