abstract：:Malaria, a major endemic tropical disease, is caused by the infection of blood cells by Plasmodium protozoa. Most patients control their parasitemia by a not fully understood spleen-dependent mechanism. SDF-1alpha is a chemokine produced by stromal cells such as reticular spleen cells. Nitric oxide (NO) has several im...
