Malaria therapy reinoculation data suggest individual variation of an innate immune response and independent acquisition of antiparasitic and antitoxic immunities

Abstract excerpt

Malaria therapy reinoculation data were examined for the possible detection of effects attributable to stable individual host-specific factors, through correlation between descriptive variables of first and second infections. Such an effect was demonstrated with respect to the first local maximum of the asexual parasite density, i.e., the density at which a host controls parasite growth. The effect was seen...
