Of these patients, 16 suffered severely and researchers found that they had markedly higher levels of Treg cells. "The subset of regulatory cells that had the most powerful capacity to turn off the immune response was only increased in those with severe disease," Plebanski said. Looking ahead, the team wants to investigate why some people have the tendency of developing more Treg cells than others. "It is unknown why some people have high (amounts of) parasites and some people don't and by finding that these cells are present in people with severe, lethal disease, we are getting insight into what will lead you to development of severe disease," she said. "It gives us the possibility of potentially getting rid of these cells or targeting therapy to get rid of these cells to then enable the immune system to get the upper hand again in controlling the disease." It is estimated that 500 million people live in areas where there is a risk of getting malaria.

The severe form of the disease causes death in 1 to 3 million people each year. It is still not known what bodily factors enable some patients to fight and survive the disease, while other patients contract the severe form of the disease and sometimes die.
