P.<unk>  impairs immune responses including impairing responses to other pathogens. Fewer granulocytes move out from the bone marrow and in a separate action induces the rodent's own heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Although HO-1 induction is a tolerance response by the host to malaria preventing damage caused by the host's own immune response the reduced reactive oxygen species production takes away a weapon vital to fighting some unrelated microbes. Cunnington et al 2012 find mice tolerating P.<unk>  17XNL do not clear coinfections with other pathogens as easily as they normally would.
