Malaria kills millions each year, targeting pregnant women and children Malaria in pregnancy has been a long-standing conundrum - why do women immune to the parasite after years of exposure suddenly become susceptible to infection during first pregnancies? Recent scientific breakthroughs have shed new light on interactions between the malaria parasite and the placenta, and raised hope for new drugs and vaccines to protect young mothers. Malaria in Pregnancy leads the reader through decades of research in epidemiology, immunology and parasitology, drawing on scientific expertise from around the world. Maternal malaria is one of the grreat public health problems of our time and may be the first parasitic infection to be controlled with anti-adhesion drugs or vaccines. The current understanding of malaria in pregnancy and the continued controversies surrounding this syndrome will fascinate all students, scientists and policy-makers interested in infectious disease and women's health.
