Brief description Malaria is responsible for over 2 million deaths annually, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Importantly, around 1 billion people in malaria endemic areas are infected with parasitic worms, thus malaria and worm co-infections frequently occur. This project will investigate how malaria and worm parasites interact to influence the immune response and clinical outcomes of each other in a mouse infection model. This will provide new strategies for the design of effective treatments in co-endemic areas.
