Abstract: Microrganisms often achieve a delicate balance with the human immune system — they suppress it enough to allow their own survival, without suppressing it so much that the host dies. But this seems to go wrong in malaria, which kills over 1.5 million children alone each year. It turns out that the malaria parasite suppresses the immune system by preventing maturation of an essential component — the dendritic cells.
