FCGR2A and malaria: These include the Fc-gamma receptors (FcγR) and complement receptors (CR) that are involved in opsonization-dependent phagocytosis (Fernandez-Arias et al., 2013; Feng et al., 2021; Alfaki and Elbasheir, 2025), as well as other non-opsonic phagocyte receptors like several Toll-like receptors (TLR) that can recognize the parasite-derived nucleic acids, nucleic acid-associated products and malaria pigments (Gao et al., 2020; Köllisch et al., 2022; Alfaki and Elbasheir, 2025).
