Uncovering the burden of asymptomatic malaria: dissecting immune responses to infection 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
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
The project will demonstrate that asymptomatic malaria is not benign as previously thought, providing a framework for new policies supporting mass-screening and treatment of asymptomatic malaria. Critical immune responses will also be identified to eradicate these persistent infections with innovative vaccination strategies.
