Infectious diseases exert a constant evolutionary pressure on the genetic makeup of our innate immune system. Polymorphisms in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) have been related to susceptibility Gram-negative infections and septic shock. Here we show that two polymorphisms TLR4, Asp299Gly Thr399Ile, unique distributions populations from Africa, Asia, Europe. Genetic functional studies are compatible with model which nonsynonymous polymorphism has evolved as protective allele against malaria,...

We compared malaria indicators among sympatric groups to study human heterogeneities in the response Plasmodium falciparum infection. Four cross-sectional surveys and two longitudinal ethnic (Dogon Fulani) Mali were carried out from 1998 2000. Spleen parasite rates evaluated during disease incidence was assessed surveys. In spite of similar sociocultural factors entomologic inoculation between groups, Fulani had a significantly higher spleen enlargement rate, lower less affected by than...

Adequate responses by our innate immune system toward invading pathogens were of vital importance for surviving infections, especially before the antibiotic era. Recently, a polymorphism in Mal (Ser180Leu, TIRAP rs8177374), an important adaptor protein downstream Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4 pathways, has been described to provide protection against broad range infectious pathogens. We assessed functional effects this human experimental endotoxemia, we demonstrate that individuals...

Interethnic differences in susceptibility to malaria provide a unique opportunity explore immunological correlates of protection. The Fulani Sahelian Africa are known for their reduced Plasmodium falciparum, compared with surrounding tribes, yet the immunology underlying this is still poorly understood.Here, we show that mononuclear cells from elicit >10-fold stronger interferon (IFN)-gamma production following 24-h vitro coincubation asexual parasites than sympatric Dogon. This response...

Many studies report associations between human genetic factors and immunity to malaria but few have been reliably replicated. These are usually country-specific, use small sample sizes not directly comparable due differences in methodologies. This study brings together samples data collected from multiple sites across Africa Asia standardized methods look for consistent effects on anti-malarial antibody levels.Sera, DNA clinical were 13,299 individuals ten Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Sudan,...

It has been previously shown that there are some interethnic differences in susceptibility to malaria between two sympatric ethnic groups of Mali, the Fulani and Dogon. The lower Plasmodium falciparum seen not fully explained by genetic polymorphisms known be associated with resistance, including haemoglobin S (HbS), C (HbC), alpha-thalassaemia glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Given observed distribution FcγRIIa allotypes among different have reported, we analysed...

Background Caspase-12 functions as an antiinflammatory enzyme inhibiting caspase-1 and the NOD2/RIP2 pathways. Due to increased susceptibility sepsis in individuals with functional caspase-12, early-stop mutation leading loss of caspase-12 has replaced ancient genotype Eurasia a significant proportion from African populations. In African-Americans, it been shown that inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Methodology/Principal Findings We assessed whether similar mechanisms are...

The full-length (L-) variant of caspase-12 is believed to predispose sepsis. It has been replaced in the genome most human populations by (S-) variant, which leads premature termination translation. Strikingly, L-allele still widely prevalent African populations, presumably due a counterbalancing selective force specific this continent, for malaria prime candidate.We investigated associations between genotype and malarial parameters three West-African studies encompassing immunological,...

Vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) persist globally with a disproportionately high burden in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Although this might be partly due to the failure sustain vaccination coverage above 90% some WHO regions, more nuanced understanding of VPD transmission beyond may unveil other important factors control.
