[HTML][HTML] Anti-malarial humoral immunity: the long and short of it
Humoral immunity is critical for limiting Plasmodium parasite infections and the severity of
malaria. Naturally acquired immunity against malaria occurs inefficiently and protection is
relatively short-lived. Here we review recent advances and explore emerging hypotheses
regarding the molecular and cellular pathways that regulate Plasmodium parasite-specific B
cell responses and durable anti-malarial humoral immunity.
