Dissecting Disease Tolerance in Plasmodium vivax Malaria Using the Systemic Degree of Inflammatory Perturbation

Abstract: Homeostatic perturbation caused by infection fosters two major defense stratagems, resistance and tolerance, which promote the survival of the infected host. Resistance relates to the ability of the host to restrict the pathogen load. Tolerance minimizes collateral tissue damage without directly affecting pathogen fitness. These concepts have been explored mechanistically in murine models of malaria but only superficially in human disease. Indeed, individuals infected with Plasmodium vivax may present with asy… Show more

“…2e). Such increased network density has previously been shown to reflect heightened inflammatory states [25][26][27] . Interestingly, IFNa was not detected in the granulomas from either group of animals, so we are unable to implicate virus-induced type IFN response in these changes in the granuloma inflammatory milieu after SIV infection (Fig 2f).…”
