Outline of Final Research Achievements

Gastrointestinal symptoms are frequently observed in malaria patients in addition to the malarial triad of fever, anemia, and splenomegaly. However, the association between intestinal microbiota and malaria pathology is poorly understood. In this study, we revealed that mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA suffer from intestinal pathology in the small intestines associated with remarkable changes in microbiota. Microbiotic analyses of stool samples also revealed that P. falciparum patients have a different microbiota composition compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, some genera or clusters of microbiota in malaria patients and infected mice correlated with malaria pathology including gastrointestinal symptoms. These results indicate that intestinal microbiota may affect malaria pathogenesis.
