The invention relates to application of a TNF-alpha
antibody in preparation of a
medicine for inhibiting plasmodium transmission, and belongs to the technical field of
malaria prevention. In order to solve the problems that in the prior art, the
drug resistance of chemical drugs is prominent, efficient vaccines are lacked, and mosquito-stage transmission blocking means are insufficient, TNF-alpha antibodies are injected into plasmodium infected hosts to block binding of host TNF-alpha and mosquito wengen receptors, so that IMD channels are activated, expression of anti-malarial
effector factors TEP1 is promoted, and development of plasmodium in mosquito bodies is inhibited; meanwhile, the occurrence rate of host
cerebral malaria is reduced, and the transmission blocking effect can be synergistically enhanced by combining with the anti-Pfs25
antibody. The method is accurate in targeting, specifically intervenes a TNF-alpha
signal channel, and avoids non-specific damage; dual protection: synchronously blocking mosquito propagation and preventing severe
malaria of a host; the blocking efficiency is remarkably improved by combining with the anti-Pfs25
antibody, and a new strategy is provided for
malaria prevention and control.
