Abstract excerpt
Hereditary ovalocytosis is common in some areas of Melanesia and South East Asia where malaria is endemic. These red cells resist invasion by malarial parasites in vitro and ovalocytic individuals are less parasitized than normal. This has been attributed to the greater rigidity of ovalocytic red...
