Immune surveillance of the CNS during malaria infection [ 2017 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Scott Mueller (Principal investigator)

Brief description Infections in the central nervous system (CNS) can have profound neurological complications. Neurological disease caused by cerebral malaria (CM) is a lethal complication in humans. We have established a new model of longitudinal imaging of T cell responses in the brain during experimental CM in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. This project will investigate the mechanisms of CNS injury and provide fundamental information about T cell responses in the CNS during infection.
