For instance, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-⁢α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-⁢γ), are pro-inflammatory cytokines responsible for a myriad of inflammatory responses, including the production of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species (Bouharoun-Tayoun et al., 1995; Bogdan et al., 2000), which are associated with rapid clearance of P. falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite (Rockett et al., 1992; Kremsner et al., 1995; Mordmüller et al., 1997; Hernandez-Valladares et al., 2006; Franklin et al., 2007). Here, IFNG is linked to malaria.
