Plasmodium falciparum transcriptome analysis reveals pregnancy malaria associated gene expression.
<h4>Background</h4>Pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) causing maternal anemia and low birth weight is among the multiple manifestations of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Infected erythrocytes (iEs) can acquire various adhesive properties that mediate the clinical severity of malaria. Rec...
