Host4Hypnozoites Parasite-host interactions regulating dormancy and reactivation of malaria parasites

Coordinator: STICHTING RADBOUD UNIVERSITEIT (NL)

What?Hypnozoites are dormant liver stage malaria parasites that can reactivate and cause repeated blood-stage infections without the bite of an infectious mosquito. We will, for the first time:- characterize the cellular environment contributing to dormancy at systems level (WP1)- explore the reactivation kinetic and tissue environment of hypnozoites within the natural host (WP2)- functionally characterize host & parasite factors governing dormancy or reactivation (WP3)Why?- Dormancy and reactivation of hypnozoites is an unresolved biological mystery since decades- Dormant parasites are a maj…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €11.4M toward a total project budget of €12.6M — a funding rate of 91%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2024-03-01 to 2030-02-28.
