Immune regulation in Plasmodium berghei ANKA infected mice either lacking type I interferon signalling or mimicking malaria tolerance: Autor: Patricia Jebett Korir: Publikationsform: Dissertation: Abstract: Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. Children under the age of five, pregnant women and none-immune individuals are at risk of.
Malaria causes approximately 212 million cases and 429 thousand deaths annually. Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the vast majority of deaths (99%) than others. The virulence of P. falciparum is mostly associated with immune response-evading ability. It has different mechanisms to evade both Anopheles mosquito and human host immune responses.
Plasmodium chabaudi. P. chabaudi is one of the four malaria species that infect murine rodents from Central Africa that are infectious to laboratory rodents and easily maintained and transmitted by Anopheles stephensi in the laboratory. It serves as a good model for the human parasites with which it shares high homology in most essential aspects of structure, biochemistry and life cycle.
Plasmodium berghei was probably first described in 1946 by Vincke in blood films of the stomach contents of Anopheles dureni. In 1948, it was subsequently found in blood films of Grammomys surdaster collected in Kisanga, Katanga; blood was passaged to white rats and became the K173 strain made widely available by the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp.
