Abstract

Plasmodium infection causes devastating disease and high mortality in young children. Immunity develops progressively as children acquire protection against severe disease, although reinfections and recrudescences still occur throughout life in areas of endemicity, partly due to parasite immunoevasion via switching of variant proteins such as Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) expressed on the infected erythrocyte surface.
