Rodent malaria: Gender susceptibility to malaria infection

More about the book

Focusing on the impact of malaria, this book examines the spleen and liver's roles in combating Plasmodium chabaudi infection through studies on lymphotoxin receptor-deficient mice. It highlights the vulnerability of male LT R-/- mice, which, despite castration or vaccination, are more susceptible to infection compared to wild type male C57BL/6 mice. This research provides insights into the immune response mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches to address malaria's significant public health threat.
