Heritability of Plasmodium parasite density in a rural Ugandan community.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene - 1 Nov 2010

Pullan Rachel L, Bukirwa Hasifa, Snow Robert W, Brooker Simon

Abstract excerpt

Many factors influence variation in Plasmodium infection levels, including parasite/host genetics, immunity, and exposure. Here, we examine the roles of host genetics and exposure in determining parasite density, and test whether effects differ with age. Data for 1,711 residents of an eastern Uga...
