There is accumulating evidence of host genetic control in malaria infection and, in humans, some genes have been associated with severe malaria. Nevertheless, other important genes controlling blood infection levels, malarial disease and immune responses are likely to be identified. In this paper, we focus on segregation and linkage analyses of blood infection levels in an urban population living in Burkina Faso....
