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. The gene discussed is ABCG2; the disease is Bjornstad syndrome.
