Brief description Two contributing factors have been identified as the main determinants of severe malaria: high parasite densities and host inflammatory responses. To date it is not clear whether inflammation is a cause or a consequence of high parasite densities. We have identified a new biomarker (IP-10) of disease severity in a malaria-endemic area of Papua New Guinea that is associated with high parasite densities. Here we will decipher the mechanisms by which IP-10 contributes to the development of high parasite burden and severe malaria.
