Severe malaria: what’s new on the pathogenesis front?

Abstract: Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe and fatal form of malaria in humans with over half a million deaths each year. Cerebral malaria (CM), a complex neurological syndrome of severe falciparum malaria, is often fatal and represents a major public health burden. Despite vigorous efforts, the pathophysiology of CM remains to be elucidated, thereby hindering the development of adjunctive therapies. In recent years, multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches have led to groundbreaking progress both in t… Show more

“…This type of antigenic variation is the product of complex multiple gene families present in both P. falciparum, the var gene family, and P. knowlesi, the SICAvar gene family, and absent in P. vivax (Baruch et al 1995;Smith et al 1995;Su et al 1995;al-Khedery et al 1999). In P. falciparum, the var gene family is strongly implicated in virulence (Mosnier and Lavstsen, 2016;Wassmer and Grau, 2017). Although in P. knowlesi the role of the likely orthologous SICAvar gene family in precipitating human disease is not yet known, the fact that both species cause severe disease and both have this gene family deserves further investigation.…”

“…As infecções causadas por Plasmodium falciparum são responsáveis pelo maior número de casos severos e fatais, nos trópicos (COWMAN et al, 2016;WASSMER;. A capacidade de citoaderência do parasita e consequente sequestro na microvasculatura do hospedeiro, podem resultar em obstrução do fluxo sanguíneo e disfunção de órgãos vitais, processos-chave para o desenvolvimento de malária severa (OBERLI et al, 2016;WASSMER;.…”
