Malaria in pregnancy: exposure, immunity and complications [ 2012 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Stephen Rogerson (Principal investigator) ,  E/Pr Graham Brown

Brief description Increasing malaria control efforts may lead to lack of exposure needed to develop immunity. We will use plasma samples from Africa, PNG and Asia, and measures of immunity we have developed, to discover (1) which are the most important protective immune responses and (2) how are these affected by changing exposure or new drugs. Overall, we hope to identify markers of protective immunity that can be used to identify women at most risk of malaria in pregnancy and its complications
