New study shows Plasmodium falciparum evades immune attack by varying invasion ligands. Antibodies target PfRH1 & PfRH2b, but variation limits efficacy. Multi-target vaccines may be key to blocking blood-stage malaria. #Malaria #Immunology #VaccineResearch

The message is clear: health systems in resource-limited settings need to take a holistic approach to maternal and infant health — and center the women at the heart of it.
Women and infants faced multiple, simultaneous health challenges yet women's voices on how care should be delivered have rarely been studied.
Women support integrated services - priorities include infant illness care, growth monitoring, vaccinations, maternal care, family planning, and nutrition
