Immune responses to asymptomatic malaria: dissecting cellular signatures to overcome immunosuppression and improve vaccination strategies

Objectives

This project will undertake a comprehensive immunological and molecular analysis of individuals experiencing asymptomatic malaria in an endemic area of Indonesia.

Principal Institution

Monash University (MON), Australia

Principal Investigators / Focal Persons

Diana Hansen

Rationale and Abstract

The project will demonstrate that asymptomatic malaria is not benign as previously thought, providing a framework for new polices supporting mass-screening and treatment of asymptomatic malaria. This project will also identify critical immune responses to eradicate these persistent infections with innovative vaccination strategies.
