- Abstract
Microbiota composition recently arose as a factor correlating with malaria infection. Mandal et al. showed, via cecal transplant and antibacterial treatment, that the mouse microbiota modulates parasitemia by affecting spleen germinal centers where B cells are matured. They further identified correlations between microbiota composition and malaria severity in Ugandan children., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
