Genetic epidemiology of human schistosomiasis in Brazil.

Acta tropica - 1 Jan 2000

Bethony Jeffrey M, Quinnell Rupert J

Abstract excerpt

Human schistosomiasis presents the classic, complex disease phenotype, with marked variation in the intensity of infection, the immune response to infection, and the development of schistosome-related pathology. Determining the role of host genetics in schistosomiasis is complicated by the numerous parasite and environmental factors involved in transmission. However, as a result of the increased availability of...
