A Proposed Mouse Model For Childhood Malaria And Immunity 2018 276 CD4+ T cells are imperative in the immune response to infections, but the immune response to malaria, especially in young children, is poorly understood, due to a lack of a young rodent animal model to study the pathogenesis of the disease. In this t...
Moderate Malnutrition Decrease Malaria-Specific Effector CD4+ T Cells 2021 276 Malnutrition is known to predispose people to infections by affecting immune cell populations, but it is not known how moderate malnutrition affects the survival of effector CD4+ T cells that could be protective against chronic infections such as mal...
Immunological Effects Of Moringa Oleifera On Malaria And Malnutrition During Plasmodium Chabaudi Infection 2019 1766 Malaria is a worldwide problem that affects millions of people yearly, especially in rural areas where life-saving anti-malarial drugs are not easily accessible. Residents in such rural areas also suffer from malnutrition due to limited supply of var...
Innate Lymphocytes In Young Mice Promote Protection Against Plasmodium Chabaudi Infection 2020 393 Understanding the immune response to malaria, especially in children under five, is limited due to the lack of a reliable animal model to study the pathogenesis of the disease. By utilizing a newly developed young rodent model in our lab, we have obs...
The Detrimental Effects Of Malnutrition And Plasmodium Chabaudi Infection On Gut Integrity And Immunity 2021 395 Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite which causes malarial disease in humans. Infections commonly occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, a region with high rates of inadequate nutrient con-sumption resulting in malnutrition. The complex relationship b...
