Chronic malaria exposure is associated with inhibitory markers on T cells that correlate with atypical memory and marginal zone-like B cells
Clin Exp Immunol. 2024 Feb 22:uxae015. doi: 10.1093/cei/uxae015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic immune activation from persistent malaria infections can induce immunophenotypic changes associated with T cell exhaustion. However, associations between T and B cells during chronic exposure remain undefined. We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells from malaria-exposed pregnant women from Papua New Guinea and Spanish malaria-naïve individuals using flow cytometry to profile T cell exhaustion markers phenotypically. T cell lineage (CD3, CD4, CD8), inhibitory (PD1, TIM3, LAG3, CTLA4, 2B4) and senescence (CD28-) mar...

Super-additive cooperation
Nature, Published online: 21 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07077-wModels show that human cooperation cannot evolve reliably under repeated interactions or under intergroup competitions, but combining the two mechanisms predicts a distinctive strategy, observed experimentally in Papua New Guinea, in which individuals exhibit cooperative reciprocity with ingroup partners and uncooperative reciprocity with outgroup partners.

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMalaria remains a major public health problem in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and an important force health protection issue for both PNG and Australian Defence Forces. To investigate the malaria burden in the military and civilians residing on military bases, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in April 2019 at three military bases in Wewak, Manus Island, and Vanimo, PNG. A total of 1,041 participants were enrolled; 235 military personnel from three bases and 806 civilians from Wewak and Vanimo. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR...

Conducting active screening for human African trypanosomiasis with rapid diagnostic tests: The Guinean experience (2016 –2021)

Strategies to detect Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) cases rely on serological screening of populations exposed to trypanosomes. In Guinea, mass medical screening surveys performed with the Card Agglutination Test for Trypanosomiasis have been progressively replaced by door-to-door approaches using Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) since 2016. However, RDTs availability represents a major concern...
