A large proportion of the death toll associated with malaria is a consequence of malaria
infection during pregnancy, causing up to 200,000 infant deaths annually. We previously …

In the last decade, our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying
decompensated cirrhosis has greatly increased. Moreover, acute-on-chronic liver failure …

Malaria is a major cause of childhood death in Africa and host genetic factors play a key role
in determining survival from this disease. Although many candidate loci have been …
