Malaria in pregnancy is characterized as the presence of Plasmodium spp. in the peripheral blood or placenta, being one of the main causes of mortality in tropical regions, causing maternal Anemia, abortion, intrauterine growth restriction, preterm delivery and low birth weight. Placental Malaria is one of the serious consequences of Malaria in pregnancy, occurring in about 20% to 50% of …
Malaria is a major public health problem in different regions of the world, especially in developing countries, causing one million deaths annually, mainly children and pregnant women. Malaria in pregnancy is characterized by the presence of Plasmodium spp. in the peripheral blood or the placenta Malaria in Pregnancy may result in maternal anemia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), l…
Malaria in pregnancy is a serious public health problem, with placental malaria being one of its serious consequences and one of the main causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Despite many studies, it remains unclear which peripheral blood infections during pregnancy lead to development of placental malaria. Whereas it is clear that placental parasites present a distinct phenotype from th…
Malaria in pregnancy is a serious public health problem and is characterized by the presence of Plasmodium spp. in the peripheral blood or the placenta, impacting on maternal and foetal health. Although P. vivax burden in pregnancy is less described than P. falciparum, recent studies indicate that both species represent a threaten to mother and foetus. Nevertheless, several hypotheses hav…
