Cerebral malaria (CM), the deadliest complication of Plasmodium infection, is a complex and unpredictable disease. However, our understanding of the host and parasite factors that cause CM is limited. Using a mouse model of CM, experimental CM (ECM), we performed a three-way comparison between ECM-susceptible C57BL/6 mice infected with ECM-causing Plasmodium ANKA parasites [ANKA(C57BL/6)], ECM-resistant BALB/c mice infected with Plasmodium ANKA [ANKA(BALB/c)], and C57BL/6 mice infected with Plasmodium NK65 that does not cause ECM [NK65(C57BL/6)]. All ANKA(C57BL/6) mice developed CM. In contrast, in ANKA(BALB/c) and NK65(C57BL/6), infections do not result in CM and proceed similarly in terms of parasite growth, disease course, and host immune response. However, parasite gene expression in ANKA(BALB/c) was remarkably different than that in ANKA(C57BL/6) but similar to the gene expression in NK65(C57BL/6). Thus, Plasmodium ANKA has an ECM-specific gene expression profile that is activated only in susceptible hosts, providing evidence that the host has a critical influence on the outcome of infection.
