The paper investigates how innate immune responses to Plasmodium falciparum contribute to blood-brain barrier disruption in cerebral malaria using an in vitro model.

This study evaluates the effects of Ocimum basilicum extract on parasitemia, biochemical markers, and coagulation in diabetic mice with malaria, showing significant reductions in parasitemia and organ damage.

The paper shows that fever increases adhesion of malaria parasites and neutrophils to brain blood vessels by damaging the endothelial glycocalyx, suggesting antipyretics could reduce disease severity.
