Plasmodium falciparum in Aotus nancymaae: A New Model for Placental Malaria

Ankur Sharma et al.

Summary: Infection of pregnant Aotus monkeys with P. falciparum parasites can replicate the key features of placental malaria in pregnant women, including parasitemia, placental sequestration, and antibody response to VAR2CSA.

The Development, Fine Specificity, and Importance of High-Avidity Antibodies to VAR2CSA in Pregnant Cameroonian Women Living in Yaounde, an Urban City

Koko Vanda et al.

Summary: The study found that high avidity antibodies to VAR2CSA increase with gravidity in women, especially during the second pregnancy. These antibodies are mainly directed against a specific region of VAR2CSA and have a positive impact on pregnancy outcomes for women in urban areas.

Progress and Insights Toward an Effective Placental Malaria Vaccine

Benoit Gamain et al.

Summary: Adults in malaria endemic areas usually acquire clinical immunity against malaria, but pregnant women, especially during their first pregnancies, are susceptible to placental malaria. Placental malaria is characterized by the accumulation of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes and monocytes in the placenta, leading to maternal anaemia, hypertension, and fetal growth retardation. However, the prevalence of placental malaria decreases significantly with successive pregnancies.

Developing a multivariate prediction model of antibody features associated with protection of malaria-infected pregnant women from placental malaria

Elizabeth H. Aitken et al.

Summary: This study used a systems serology approach and machine learning techniques to identify candidate antibody features that could accurately identify women protected from placental malaria. The results revealed multiple pathways to protection against placental malaria, indicating the complexity of immune responses against the disease.
