Funded Activity Summary

Malaria is a major global disease that kills over 1 million people every year. Immune responses induced during infection help fight the infection but can also cause tissue damage and thereby worsen disease. This study will determine differences in cellular immune responses during uncomplicated and severe malaria. Better understanding of the role of immune cells in response to infection and disease progression will assist the development of novel treatment interventions and vaccine development.
