Genetics of susceptibility to human helminth infection.

International journal for parasitology - 30 Sept 2003

Quinnell Rupert J

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have shown that host genetics is an important determinant of the intensity of infection and morbidity due to human helminths. Epidemiological studies of a number of parasite species have shown that the intensity of infection (worm burden) is a heritable phenotype. The proportion of variance in human worm burden explained by genetic effects varies from 0.21 to 0.44. Human genome scans have...
