Summary

Description
English: General mechanisms by which hemoglobinopathies may attenuate the pathogenesis of falciparum malaria.
  • (A) Restriction of red blood cell (RBC) invasion or intraerythrocytic growth, thereby suppressing parasite densities in vivo;
  • (B) interference with parasite-derived mediators of pathogenesis, including those involved in the binding of parasite-infected RBCs (iRBCs) to extracellular host receptors;
  • (C) modulation of innate host defenses to favor protective, anti-inflammatory responses over those that drive pathogenic, pro-inflammatory responses;
  • (D) enhancement of adaptive cell-mediated and humoral immune responses that clear iRBCs from the blood.
