Humoral immunity to Plasmodium falciparum is acquired after repeated infections, and can lead to clinical protection. This study aimed to evaluate how human-, parasite-, and environment-related determinants can modulate the dynamics of IgG responses to Plasmodium falciparum after an infection. Individuals (n = 68, average age = 8.2 years) with uncomplicated malaria were treated with ACT and followed up for 42 days. IgG responses to P. falciparum merozoite antigens (PfMSP1, PfMSP3, PfAMA1, PfGLURP-R0), to whole schizont extract (PfSchz), and to Anopheles gSG6-P1 and Aedes Nterm–34 kDa salivary peptides were measured. Regression analyses were used to identify factors that influence the dynamics of IgG response to P. falciparum antigen between D0 and D42, including demographic and biological factors and the level of exposure to mosquito bites. The dynamics of IgG response to P. falciparum differed according to the antigen. According to multivariate analysis, IgG responses to PfSchz and to PfGLURP-R0 appear to be affected by exposure to Aedes saliva and are associated with age, parasite density, and anti-Plasmodium pre-existing immune response at study inclusion. The present work shows that human exposure to Aedes saliva may contribute, in addition to other factors, to the regulation of anti-Plasmodium immune responses during a natural infection. |
