In the present study, therefore, using an experimental cerebral malaria strategy19 induced by Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection in C57BL/6 mice, a new murine model of MiP-induced PTD was developed, to probe whether the expression of key placental ABC transporters is associated with the pathological and clinical features of human malaria during pregnancy20. This evidence concerns the gene MIP and Bjornstad syndrome.
