Neutralization of the Plasmodium-encoded MIF ortholog confers protective immunity against malaria infection

Plasmodium species produce an ortholog of the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor, PMIF, which modulates the host inflammatory response to malaria. Here, the authors show that inhibition of PMIF may have translational benefits for managing malaria infections.
