Funded Activity Summary

Fatal malaria is one of the world's most destructive disease burdens. A major complication is Cerebral Malaria (CM). Small vesicles originating from cell membranes, known as microparticles (MP), have recently been shown to play an important role in CM. This project aims to determine the role MP play in CM, the cells they interact with and the consequences of such interactions. It is hoped that project outcomes may provide new approaches in the prevention and treatment of fatal malaria.
