protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the genus Plasmodium (P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae) and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus Anopheles; malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands; characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high fever, sweating, shaking chills, and anemia; malaria in animals is caused by other species of plasmodia.

  • Placental malaria genome-wide analysis

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Chronic inflammation during placental malaria (PM) caused by Plasmodium falciparum is most frequent in first-time mothers and is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. In the first genome wide analysis of the local human response to sequestered malaria parasites, we identified genes assoc…

  • Natural and experimentally induced malaria

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Using genome-wide expression profiles from persons either experimentally challenged with malaria-infected mosquitoes or naturally-infected with Plasmodium falciparum malaria, we present details of the transcriptional changes that occur with infection and that are either commonly shared between subje…
