Increased frequency of malaria attacks in subjects co-infected by intestinal worms and Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
TLDR
Results suggest that, compared with those infected, individuals free of helminths had the same degree of protection against malaria as that provided by sickle-cell trait, the most potent factor of resistance to malaria identified to date.Abstract:
The influence of intestinal worm infections on malaria was studied in individuals from Dielmo, Senegal in 1998. Results suggest that, compared with those infected, individuals free of helminths had the same degree of protection against malaria as that provided by sickle-cell trait, the most potent factor of resistance to malaria identified to date.read more

TL;DR: A low prevalent of co-infection malaria and Soil-Transmitted helminths and a trend of a higher P. falciparum parasitic density among children infected mostly by A. lumbricoides is shown.

Malaria and relapsing fever Borrelia : interactions and potential therapy
TL;DR: Infectious diseases such as malaria and relapsing fever borreliosis (RF), cause severe human mortality and morbidity in developing countries and need to be addressed more effectively.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that sterile immunity and clinical protection are never fully achieved in humans continuously exposed since birth to intense transmission.

Plasmodium falciparum malaria: evidence for an isotype imbalance which may be responsible for delayed acquisition of protective immunity.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that nonprotected subjects have antibodies to epitopes critical for protection, but that these antibodies are nonfunctional is formed, bringing some clues to the very long delay required to reach protection against malaria and clearly stress the need to investigate immune responses in both quantitative and qualitative terms.

Evidence for an age-dependent pyrogenic threshold of Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia in highly endemic populations.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for an age-dependent threshold effect of parasitemia that allows parasite density to be used to distinguish malaria attacks from other causes of fever within an individual and should facilitate the accurate evaluation of the incidence of clinical malaria in highly endemic areas.
