Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is generated by immune cells during infection with malaria
parasites and they are associated with the immunopathogenesis of malaria. The present …

Despite intense research, malaria still is the one of the most devastating diseases killing
more people than any other parasitic infection. In an attempt to control the infection, the host …

Proinflammatory cytokines are involved in clearance of Plasmodium falciparum, and very
high levels of these cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of severe malaria …

Background Pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators of immunity and
are associated with malaria disease outcomes. However, their role in the establishment of …

Cytokine and chemokine levels were studied in infants (< 5 years) with uncomplicated (MM)
and severe malaria tropica (SM), and in Plasmodium falciparum infection-free controls …

Interferon (IFN)-γ contributes to the pathogenesis of severe malaria; however, its mechanism
remains unclear. Herein, differences in IFN-γ levels between patients with severe and …

Background. Severe malaria (SM) is associated with high levels of cytokines such as tumor
necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1 (IL-1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6). The role of chemokines is …

Background Plasmodium vivax malaria clinical outcomes are a consequence of the
interaction of multiple parasite, environmental and host factors. The host molecular and …

Malaria, blood-borne filarial worms and intestinal parasites are all endemic in Gabon. This
geographical co-distribution leads to polyparasitism and, consequently, the possibility of …

Background γδ T cells are important for both protective immunity and immunopathogenesis
during malaria infection. However, the immunological processes determining beneficial or …
