"From my perspective, you want to make sure every single person having a placental detachment at 18 weeks gets an abortion so they don't die," Greene said.

"We already know that the placental barrier retains many nanoparticles or at least delays their transport to the embryo," says Bürki.

If Plasmodium travel to the placenta, the parasites bind to placental receptors and cause portions of the placenta to die off.
