Article Synopsis
- * Many new HBV infections occur in regions with poor vaccination policies, and current understanding of the virus's biology and how it causes disease is limited, particularly in areas with high rates of infection.
- * More research is needed on the genomic features of HBV to improve treatment strategies and preventative measures, potentially leading to a cure while also exploring how co-infections affect disease outcomes.
Cytokines play a critical role in the immune mechanisms involved in fighting infections including malaria. Polymorphisms in cytokine genes may affect immune responses during an infection with parasites and immunization outcomes during routine administration of malaria vaccines. These polymorphisms can increase or reduce susceptibility to this deadly infection, and this may affect the physiologically needed balance between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
