Figure 1. Balancing inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses to malaria.

Figure 1

This figure represents cellular immune responses theorized to mediate disease outcomes in the setting of Plasmodium falciparum coinfection, notably intestinal helminth infections. The figure is a simplified representation of these responses, which highlights mechanisms that may be amenable to therapeutic targets, but does not fully represent the multiple and complex immune mechanisms that occur in humans in response to P. falciparum infection.
