Brief Summary  

Malaria is a major health problem in Asia and Africa and to date more than 1 million people die annually due to this disease Lack of early diagnosis effective vaccines as well as drug resistance remains major challenges The incidence of malaria from P vivax and P  falciparum species of the malaria parasite and its complications is on the rise worldwide with reports of mortality from what was thought to be an otherwise benign parasite  Proteomic investigations of the P vivax and P falciparum along with the study of host immune responses may significantly advance our understanding and perhaps aid prognosis

 This project aims to perform a comprehensive proteomic analysis of serum samples of severe P falciparum malaria and P vivax malaria patients admitted in Department of Clinical Pharmacology Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital We will perform the comparative serum proteome analysis of and healthy controls severe and non severe FM and VM malaria patients using 2DE and 2D DIGE in combination with MALDI TOF/TOF MS to decipher disease pathogenesis host immune response and identification of surrogate protein markers  Proteomic and immunoassay based analysis of the clinical samples will be performed at Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Powai Mumbai 400 076 India Diagnostic impact of identified serum biomarkers in clinics and specificity for malaria prediction will be established by investigation of the disease patterns in large clinical cohorts using immunoassay-based analysis Panel of identified biomarkers will be tested to evaluate their efficiency in diagnosis. Expression levels of the identified serum protein in severe malaria patients will help to correlate the identified marker proteins with disease severity and evaluate the prognostic value of the target proteins Specificity of the identified malaria related serum markers will be evaluated by means of analysis of dengue fever and leptospirosis as febrile controls
