Overall, while the process of sequestration is not completely understood, it is known to cause obstruction of blood flow in small capillaries and post-capillary venules (PCVs), endothelial cell activation and inflammation and severe pathology in many organs including lung, adipose tissue, spleen and brain 52, 53, 65, 66 (FIG. This unique brain pathology, known as cerebral malaria, involves convulsions, coma and high fever and develops with the presence of mostly ring-stage infected erythrocytes in the periphery (suggesting a sequestration of late-stage parasites in the organs) [69] [70] [71] . Malaria is a serious disease with acute life-threatening and long-term complications, all of which can be attributed to local but specific organs in which Plasmodium Figure 4 | Infected red blood cells in gut and bone marrow niches. ./cache/cord-006039-vbq9izw3.txt ./txt/cord-006039-vbq9izw3.txt
