Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections may not be shortened by acquired immunity.

Malaria journal - 4 Aug 2015

Bretscher Michael T, Maire Nicolas, Felger Ingrid, Owusu-Agyei Seth, Smith Tom

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The duration of untreated Plasmodium falciparum infections is a defining characteristic of the parasite's biology. It is not clear whether naturally acquired immunity (NAI) can shorten infections, despite the potential implications for malaria control and elimination as well as for basic research. METHODS: Data on the presence of P. falciparum msp2 genotypes in six blood samples collected over one...
