This study shows that malaria exposure increases cytotoxic Vδ2+ T cell expansion in human tonsil and spleen organoids, with clonal expansion and activation, while not significantly affecting influenza vaccine responses.

The paper examines how maternal malaria and early-life infections affect P. falciparum-specific antibody responses in infants, finding no protective association between maternal antibodies or early infections and clinical malaria.

This study shows that surface remodelling in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes helps evade immune detection and facilitates transmission by controlling their sequestration and release into the bloodstream.
