Genetic diversity of expressed Plasmodium falciparum var genes from Tanzanian children with severe malaria
BACKGROUND: Severe malaria has been attributed to the expression of a restricted subset of the var multi-gene family, which encodes for Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). PfEMP1 mediates cytoadherence and sequestration of infected erythrocytes into the post-capillary venu...
