Abstract:
Despite extensive research, malaria is still very rampant and unrestrained. The complexity of Plasmodium parasite’s life cycle,its intracellular nature, and its ability to evade the innate and adaptive immune responses make our efforts incompetent. Understanding the induction pathways of immune responses during malaria infection is crucial for the development of an effective vaccine. Present review explains the various aspects of immune mechanisms involved in fortification against malaria infection.
Keywords: Plasmodium, innate, acquired, immunity, malaria
