title: Targeting the olfactory bulb during experimental cerebral malaria.
abstract: Malaria is responsible for over 500 million clinical cases and over 500000 deaths annually. Fatalities arise from a range of overlapping syndromes, such as cerebral malaria, whose pathogenesis is still incompletely understood. In a new study, Coban and colleagues provide new clues on the involvement of the olfactory bulb during experimental cerebral malaria in mice that open the way to testable hypotheses and potentially earlier intervention in humans.
