- Thanks to the organizers of this interesting meeting for the invitation to participate. I am going to talk about strategies and progress towards a vaccine that would protect pregnant mothers and their babies from the sequelae of malaria. I will start this talk with this image of an infected placenta, because it illustrates many features of pregnancy malaria. To orient those of you who are not familiar with placental sections, the projections of tissue that you see here are chorionic or fetal villi. In the spaces between the villi are the maternal blood cells. The black spots that you see here represent parasites infecting red cells, and as you can see the parasitemia in the placenta can achieve high density. Placental malaria is often accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate, and you may be able to appreciate the large macrophages in the intervillous spaces here. Many of the macrophages contain pigment, which is the product that remains after the parasite digests hemoglobin. Recent studies have suggested that the inflammatory response to placental malaria may play a key role in the development of sequelae. You should also appreciate that despite the high density of parasites in the maternal blood spaces, there are no parasites detected in the fetal blood. Congenital malaria does occur, but it has generally been thought to be uncommon. However, recent studies using PCR on cord blood have suggested that congenital infection may be fairly common, and so the issue remains unsettled until we have more data. This image of placental malaria, by the way, is the oldest I could find in the world literature. It was drawn by Samuele Sereni in 1902. Sereni was working with some of the great Italian malariologists of that era, who were asking whether congenital malaria occurred or not.
