Funded Activity Summary

The Asia-Pacific has 40% of the global malaria burden, and both major malaria species (falciparum & vivax) cause disease and death. To eliminate malaria we need to understand how malaria parasites prevent our body making new immune responses. Our experienced team will measure how and when the two major malaria parasites switch off and kill specialised immune cells, when immune cells recover after antimalarial therapy and may suggest the need for malaria drugs to be given before immunisations.
