Innate immune responese

The sequencing of the entire genomes of P. falciparum genome (Nature. 2002 Oct 3;419: 6906) and An. gambiae genome (Science. 2002 Oct 4;298:5591 ) in addition to that of humans (Science 2001 Feb 16; 291:5507), enables new research approaches in the fight against malaria. This reveals a unique opportunity to take use of both host and vector systems to investigate how this specialized parasite has adapted to the immune responses that it is destined to encounter

Malaria control

Malaria is a devastating disease for which there is yet no reliable protection. The morbidity and mortality levels are increasing, especially in African children less than five years of age
