This project investigates the immune response to placental malaria by analyzing antibodies from women with natural immunity. It aims to identify the characteristics of these antibodies to enhance the development of effective vaccines against this severe complication of malaria in pregnancy.
Placental malaria (PM) is a severe malaria complication in pregnancy, in areas with stable parasite transmission.
It is a major cause of disease and death among pregnant women and their offspring. PM mainly affects primigravidae, as immunity is developed over successive pregnancies.
