The paper identifies novel PfEMP1 variants associated with rosetting in Plasmodium falciparum, expanding the known types of PfEMP1 that mediate this phenotype.

The paper demonstrates the presence of strain-transcending antibodies against rosetting Plasmodium falciparum strains in humans using flow cytometry and antibody elution experiments.

This study aligns metabolomics LC-MS datasets from malaria, leishmaniasis, and Zika virus to identify fever-associated metabolites, finding the kynurenine pathway as most affected.

The paper investigates how non-O ABO blood group genotypes relate to Plasmodium falciparum rosetting and severe malaria risk in Kenyan children.

The paper shows that Dantu blood group variant increases red blood cell tension, reducing Plasmodium falciparum invasion and protecting against severe malaria.
