Background: Entomological surveillance for malaria is inherently resource-intensive and
produces crude population-level measures of vector exposure which are insensitive in low …

Biomarkers are incorporated ubiquitously into clini-cal practice as surrogate endpoints of
physiologic and pathologic processes that cannot be measured directly. For example, a lipid …

Strengthening malaria surveillance is a key intervention needed to reduce the global
disease burden. Reliable serological markers of recent malaria exposure could improve …

Background The gametocyte stage of Plasmodium falciparum is considered an important
target for disrupting malaria transmission. Indications are that various demographic groups …

Serology has become an increasingly important tool for the surveillance of a wide range of
infectious diseases. It has been particularly useful to monitor malaria transmission in …

Background Serological markers for exposure to different Plasmodium species have
recently been used in multiplex immunoassays based on the Luminex technology. However …

Background Differences in parasite transmission intensity influence the process of
acquisition of host immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria and ultimately, the rate of …

Coinfection with Plasmodium falciparum and helminths may impact the immune response to
these parasites because they induce different immune profiles. We studied the effects of …

Abstract Background During a Plasmodium infection, exposure of human host immune cells
to both the asexual and the sexual stages of the parasite elicit immune responses. These …

The cell-traversal protein for ookinetes and sporozoites (CelTOS), a highly conserved
antigen involved in sporozoite motility, plays an important role in the traversal of host cells …
