Malaria Research

The research we conduct at the Malaria Research Unit is directed toward a main objective: achieving elimination of this disease from Cambodia. While amazing progress has been done for Plasmodium falciparum, the situation is strikingly different for Plasmodium vivax that requires dedicated intervention, and therefore research, to be eliminated. Our work combines mechanistic questions on the basic biology of host-parasite interactions with very operational research projects in order to develop and implement approaches for the control and elimination of malaria.

Malaria Research

The research we conduct at the Malaria Research Unit is directed toward a main objective: achieving elimination of this disease from Cambodia. While amazing progress has been done for Plasmodium falciparum, the situation is strikingly different for Plasmodium vivax that requires dedicated intervention, and therefore research, to be eliminated. Our work combines mechanistic questions on the basic biology of host-parasite interactions with very operational research projects in order to develop and implement approaches for the control and elimination of malaria.

Main Fields of Research

Antimalarial drug resistance & chemotherapy of malaria parasites

Drug resistance is a major and historical research focus of our unit. A main aspect is related to P. falciparum clinical resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). We are constantly monitoring the resistance patterns of P. falciparum to make sure treatment works optimally in Cambodia and in other areas of South East Asia and inform health authorities to adapt them if they start failing.  We combine in vitro drug susceptibility testing of clinical isolates as well as analysis of molecular markers of resistance. Leveraging a biobank of several hundred of cryopreserved clinical isolates with various resistance genotypes, our work also includes the evaluation of novel antimalarial candidates and research to understand the mechanisms of resistance.

While more challenging, we also monitor antimalarial drug resistance in P. vivax. Our approaches combine in vivo therapeutic efficacy, pharmacokinetics, parasite genomics and in vitro drug response to antimalarials. Indeed, one of our strength is to have implemented short-term in vitro cultures of P. vivax clinical isolates as continuous in vitro growth is still not possible for this species.

Malaria epidemiology in Cambodia and intervention strategies

Our unit is part of the Asia-Pacific International Centre of Excellence in Malaria Research (Asia-Pacific ICEMR Program Director I. Muller/ L. Robinson) which aims at addressing key challenges to malaria elimination in the Asia-Pacific. Together, we carry out a coordinated set of in-depth studies focusing on the epidemiology, entomology and biology of residual malaria transmission at three sites, spanning the entire Asia-Pacific transmission gradient from moderately and high transmission in Papua New Guinea to low, highly focal transmission in Cambodia. Our epidemiological studies combine molecular epidemiology of parasites collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic cases and identification of changes in population structures, serological analyses to identify individuals with markers of recent exposures and molecular analysis of parasites collected from Anopheles mosquitoes captured in the field

Asymptomatic reservoir of parasite carriers is a major obstacle to malaria elimination. This is especially true for P. vivax that not only can lead to low density blood-stage infections undetected by point-of-care diagnostics, but also establishes completely asymptomatic liver hypnozoite infections. Such hypnozoite carriage is undetectable with all currently available diagnostic tools. Our research aims at addressing the issue of asymptomatic/low-density/silent infections in order to reach this reservoir.

P. vivax transmission and liver-stage

The presence of hypnozoites in P. vivax is one of the major factor contributing to the resilience of this species to elimination efforts. We have implemented in our Unit in vitro cultures of P. vivax liver stage allowing the study of hepatic schizonts and dormant hypnozoites using sporozoites obtained through mosquito feeding on patient-derived infectious blood. This unique platform enable us to evaluate transmission-blocking approaches, anti-liver stage drugs and to study the biology of these elusive parasite forms.

Receptors-ligands interactions involved in P. vivax reticulocyte invasion

The implementation of short-term in vitro cultures of P. vivax enabled us to setup controlled invasion assays of clinical isolates into reticulocytes. Such assay allows us to study receptor-ligand interactions involved in reticulocyte invasion and to obtain an unambiguous phenotype of invasion neutralization by antibodies targeting parasite ligands. This is a major achievement and allows to fill critical gaps currently faced by researchers developing blood-stage vaccine against P. vivax. By studying the response to antibodies targeting parasite antigens of a high number of clinical P. vivax isolates collected in Cambodia and elsewhere, we can also explore the genotypic variability of responses to host immunity.

Understanding the basic biology of P. vivax

Because P. vivax malaria was considered wrongly a benign disease and because of the inherent difficulties in studying this parasite, in particular the absence of continuous in vitro culture, our knowledge on this parasite lags far behind what is known for P. falciparum. Thanks to our unique situation at the bedside of infected patients and to state-of-the-art infrastructure and equipment available, we can perform studies to understand the biology of P. vivax. By applying technologies such as single-cell analyses, automated microscope imaging and in vitro phenotypes using live parasites from clinical isolates, we study the mechanisms underlying P. vivax biology notably at two critical steps of its life cycle, the blood and the liver stage.
