Heritability of human hookworm infection in Papua New Guinea.

Parasitology - 1 Oct 2008

Breitling L Ph, Wilson A J, Raiko A, Lagog M, Siba P, Shaw M-A, Quinnell R J

Abstract excerpt

Hookworms infect approximately 740 million humans worldwide and are an important cause of morbidity. The present study examines the role of additive genetic effects in determining the intensity of hookworm infection in humans, and whether these effects vary according to the sex of the host. Parasitological and epidemiological data for a population of 704 subjects in Papua New Guinea were used in variance...
