Host response to malaria during pregnancy: placental monocyte recruitment is associated with elevated beta chemokine expression.
Malaria during pregnancy is associated with poor birth outcomes, particularly low birth weight. Recently, monocyte infiltration into the placental intervillous space has been identified as a key risk factor for low birth weight. However, the malaria-induced chemokines involved in recruiting and acti...
