Intravenous artesunate reduces parasite clearance time, duration of intensive care and hospital treatment in patients with severe malaria in Europe:... (Publications)
Intravenous artesunate improves survival in severe malaria, but clinical trial data from non-endemic countries are scarce. The TropNet severe malaria database was analyzed to compare outcomes of artesunate [...] clearance time, duration of ICU- and hospital treatment in European patients with imported severe malaria
Impact of malaria pre-exposure on anti-parasite cellular and humoral immune responses after controlled human malaria infection (Publications)
understand the effect of previous malaria exposure on anti-parasite immune responses is important for developing successful immunization strategies. Controlled human malaria infections (CHMI) using cryopreserved [...] sporozoites provide a unique opportunity to study differences in acquisition or re-call of anti-malaria immune responses in individuals from different transmission settings and genetic backgrounds. In [...] In this study, we compared anti-parasite humoral and cellular immune...
