Latent cytomegalovirus disrupts NK cell responses to P. falciparum and impairs parasite control

This study shows that latent cytomegalovirus infection reduces NK cell responses to Plasmodium falciparum and impairs parasite control by disrupting IL-12 production.

Functionally Distinct pTfh1 Subsets with Roles in Malaria-Specific Immunity

The paper identifies two functionally distinct Tfh1 subsets in malaria infection, showing that only CCR7pos Tfh1 and Tfh2 cells are associated with antibody development.

Heterogeneity of the human immune response to malaria infection and vaccination driven by latent cytomegalovirus infection

This study shows that latent cytomegalovirus infection reduces antibody responses to malaria infection and vaccination by altering Tfh cell subsets and their activation.
