CD163 and malaria: Three scavenger receptors were also studied: CD36, known for its implication in nonopsonic phagocytosis of iRBCs; CD206 (also called Mannose receptor 1), known for its implication in the phagocytosis of pathogens such as Leishmania and a lower rate of P. falciparum-iRBCs (23) and in the M2-like phenotype; and CD163, known for its implication in the hemoglobin–haptoglobin complex elimination, an important step of detoxification during malaria.
