What is Role of Antigenic Variation in Plasmodium 10 Pages about?

Antigenic variation in Plasmodium parasites is a key mechanism that allows them to evade host immune responses, contributing to the persistence and severity of malaria. This genetic strategy enables the parasites to alter their surface antigens, leading to chronic infections and increased morbidity, particularly in vulnerable populations. Additionally, antigenic variation plays a critical role in severe malaria pathogenesis and enhances transmission by prolonging infection duration.
