Reduced risk of placental parasitemia associated with complement fixation on Plasmodium falciparum by antibodies among pregnant women
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of malaria in pregnancy (MiP) involves accumulation of P. falciparum-infected red blood cells (pRBCs) in the placenta, contributing to poor pregnancy outcomes. Parasite accumulation is primarily mediated by P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). Magnitude...
