Polymorphisms of innate immunity genes and susceptibility to lymphatic filariasis.

Genes and immunity - 1 Oct 2003

Abstract excerpt

We examined 906 residents of an area of Papua New Guinea where bancroftian filariasis is endemic for genetic polymorphisms in three innate immunity genes suspected of contributing to susceptibility to infection and lymphatic pathology. Active infection was confirmed by the presence of blood-borne microfilariae and circulating filarial antigen in plasma. Disease was ascertained by physical examination for the...
