Determining important parameters in the spread of malaria through the sensitivity analysis of a mathematical model.

Chitnis Nakul N Hyman James M JM Cushing Jim M JM

Bulletin of mathematical biology 20080222 5

We perform sensitivity analyses on a mathematical model of malaria transmission to determine the relative importance of model parameters to disease transmission and prevalence. We compile two sets of baseline parameter values: one for areas of high transmission and one for low transmission. We compute sensitivity indices of the reproductive number (which measures initial disease transmission) and the endemic equilibrium point (which measures disease prevalence) to the parameters at the baseline ...[more]

Ex vivo P. falciparum from High vs Low transmission areas in east Africa

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of Plasmodium falciparum parasites sourced from high vs. low malaria transmission settings in east Africa in order to test the hypothesis that malaria parasites are locally adapted to their environment. In three separate experiments, parasites from ‘High’ vs. ‘Low’ transmission populations were taken from non-immune children and measured for gene expression levels by microarray against a reference genome. Two of these population comparisons were geographic in nature while the third was temporal, i.e., before and after a marked decline in malaria. This study is described in Rono MK, Nyonda MA, Simam JJ, Ngoi, JM et al. Nat Ecol Evol. PMID: .

Copy number variation in ex vivo P. falciparum from High vs Low transmission areas in east Africa

Project description:The aim of this study was to describe gene copy number variation in Plasmodium falciparum parasites sourced from high vs. low malaria transmission settings in east Africa in order to test the hypothesis that malaria parasites are locally adapted to their environment. In three separate experiments, parasites from ‘High’ vs. ‘Low’ transmission populations were taken from non-immune children and evaluated for copy number variants by microarray against a reference genome. Two of these population comparisons were geographic in nature while the third was temporal, i.e., before and after a marked decline in malaria.

Ducrot2009 - Malaria transmission in two host types

Project description:The main purpose of this article is to formulate a deterministic mathematical model for the transmission of malaria that considers two host types in the human population. The first type is called "non-immune" comprising all humans who have never acquired immunity against malaria and the second type is called "semi-immune". Non-immune are divided into susceptible, exposed and infectious and semi-immune are divided into susceptible, exposed, infectious and immune. We obtain an explicit formula for the reproductive number, R(0) which is a function of the weight of the transmission semi-immune-mosquito-semi-immune, R(0a), and the weight of the transmission non-immune-mosquito-non-immune, R(0e). Then, we study the existence of endemic equilibria by using bifurcation analysis. We give a simple criterion when R(0) crosses one for forward and backward bifurcation. We explore the possibility of a control for malaria through a specific sub-group such as non-immune or semi-immune or mosquitoes

Malaria-driven expansion of adaptive-like functional CD56-negative NK cells correlates with clinical immunity to malaria

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells likely play an important role in immunity to malaria, but whether repeated malaria modifies the NK cell response remains unclear. Here, we comprehensively profiled the NK cell response in a cohort of 264 Ugandan children. Repeated malaria exposure was associated with expansion of an atypical, CD56neg population of NK cells that differed transcriptionally, epigenetically, and phenotypically from CD56dim NK cells, including decreased expression of PLZF and the Fc receptor g chain, increased histone methylation, and increased protein expression of LAG-3, KIR and LILRB1. CD56neg NK cells were highly functional, displaying greater antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity than CD56dim NK cells, and higher frequencies of these cells were associated with protection against symptomatic malaria and high parasite densities. Importantly, following marked reductions in malaria transmission, frequencies of these cells rapidly declined, suggesting that continuous exposure to malaria is required to maintain this modified, adaptive-like NK cell subset.

Mukhta2018-the effect of bednet coverage on malaria transmission in South Sudan

Project description:A campaign for malaria control, using Long Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) was launched in South Sudan in 2009. The success of such a campaign often depends upon adequate available resources and reliable surveillance data which help officials understand existing infections. An optimal allocation of resources for malaria control at a sub-national scale is therefore paramount to the success of efforts to reduce malaria prevalence. In this paper, we extend an existing SIR mathematical model to capture the effect of LLINs on malaria transmission. Available data on malaria is utilized to determine realistic parameter values of this model using a Bayesian approach via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Then, we explore the parasite prevalence on a continued rollout of LLINs in three different settings in order to create a sub-national projection of malaria. Further, we calculate the model's basic reproductive number and study its sensitivity to LLINs' coverage and its efficacy. From the numerical simulation results, we notice a basic reproduction number, [Formula: see text], confirming a substantial increase of incidence cases if no form of intervention takes place in the community. This work indicates that an effective use of LLINs may reduce [Formula: see text] and hence malaria transmission. We hope that this study will provide a basis for recommending a scaling-up of the entry point of LLINs' distribution that targets households in areas at risk of malaria.

Transcription profiling of PfSPZ Malaria Vaccine trial subjects in a malaria endemic region

Project description:The Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine can confer sterilizing protection against liver stage infection by Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) in malaria naïve individuals. The vaccine consists of aseptically purified irradiated Pf sporozoites. The PfSPZ Vaccine trial in Mali was the first to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this vaccine in a malaria endemic region. Vaccinees received five doses of 2.7 X 105 irradiated sporozoites and the efficacy was measured against naturally occurring Pf Infections in Malian adults during the malaria transmission season.

Chronic Malaria drives functional heterogenity in B cell subpopilations and expansion of unswitched atypical memory B cells [Malaria scRNA-seq]

Project description:Human chronic infectious diseases have been shown to alter the composition and phenotype of the B cell compartment, which, in part, can attribute to failure to acquire protective immunity. However, the extent of such alterations is poorly understood. Here, using a combination of bulk and single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of B cells in individuals living in malaria-endemic Africa, we characterized changes in naïve B cell, classical memory B cell (MBC) and atypical MBC subsets. Of particular interest were unswitched atypical MBCs that expanded in children upon the onset of febrile malaria. This subpopulation expressed IgD but only low levels of IgM (IgD+IgMlo), high levels of the atypical MBC markers, Tbet and CD11c, as well as the intrinsically autoreactive VH4-34. IgD+IgMlo atypical MBCs were distinguished functionally by their acquisition of high antigen-affinity thresholds for activation, suggesting the IgD+IgMlo atypical MBC expansion during febrile malaria may reduce responses to low affinity self-antigens during acute malaria
