Background: Malaria in pregnancy leads to placental malaria. The primary pathogenesis of the complex fetal implications in placental malaria is tissue hypoxia due to sequestrations of -infected erythrocytes in the placenta. However, the pathomechanism of placental infection has not been thoroughly investigated.

Besides its widely established role in mammals as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, the diverse biological roles and metabolism of GABA in protozoan parasites have begun to be unveiled. GABA acts as either the intracellular signal or cell-to-cell messenger to mediate a variety of cellular responses that protect the parasites from environmental and host-derived stress.

Background: Malaria in pregnancy can cause fatal complications by parasite sequestration mechanism, which can cause monocyte infiltration in the intervillous space. infection was significantly associated with malaria pigment in the placenta, indicating past subclinical infections.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the mechanism of in the pathogenesis of placental malaria and its relationship with LBW.
Background: Malaria eradication has been complicated by the repeated emergence of antimalarial drug resistances. We aimed to determine whether a metabolite extract of subsp. could decrease the viability of 3D7 in vitro.
