Mendelian and complex genetics of susceptibility and resistance to parasitic infections.

Abstract excerpt

Uncovering the complex genetic basis of susceptibility and resistance to parasitic infectious diseases is an enormous challenge. It probably involves many different host genes, interacting with multiple parasite genetic and environmental factors. Several genes of interest have been identified by family and association studies in humans and by using mouse models, but more robust epidemiological studies and...
