Abstract

Malaria still remains one of the most devastating infectious diseases world-wide causing ~∈655,000 deaths per year World Health Organization (WHO) report 2011. In humans, malaria can be caused through infection with five different species of the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium. Immunity against Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), the most dangerous malaria species, develops incompletely over the course of multiple infection cycles. Protective immunity against malaria should involve the humoral, innate, and adaptive system. However, the human immune system often fails to eliminate malaria infections completely for yet unknown reasons. In the present chapter we aim to elucidate the role of the host's and the parasite's heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the development of a novel anti-malaria therapeutic approach.
