Hidden hematological, biochemical and immune costs of asymptomatic malaria infections in semi-wild chimpanzees

This study examines the health impacts of asymptomatic malaria in semi-wild chimpanzees, finding systemic immune changes and physiological stress indicators.

Metabolic and Thermal Cues Shape IL-6 Response and Disease Tolerance Mechanisms in Severe Malaria

The paper models IL-6 response in severe malaria using an ex vivo co-culture system and clinical data, showing that IL-6 is context-dependent and influenced by metabolic and thermal cues.

Upregulation of steroidogenesis is associated with coma in human cerebral malaria

The paper identifies steroid biosynthesis as a key metabolic pathway associated with coma in cerebral malaria by analyzing metabolite differences between CM and CM-like patients.

Haplotype of RNASE 3 polymorphisms is associated with severe malaria in an Indian population

The paper investigates the association of RNASE 3 polymorphisms with severe malaria in an Indian population and finds a significant haplotype correlation with severe malaria.
