Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: More than 2 billion individuals worldwide suffer from helminth infections. The highest parasite burdens occur in children and helminth infection during pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm delivery and reduced birth weight. Therefore, helminth infections can be regarded as a strong selective pressure. RESULTS: Here we propose that candidate susceptibility genes for parasitic worm infections can be...
