In humans, cerebral malaria is a rare but often lethal complication of infection with Plasmodium parasites, the occurrence of which is influenced by complex genetic factors of the host. We used a mouse model of experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) with Plasmodium berghei ANKA to study genetic factors regulating appearance of neurological symptoms and associated lethality. In a genome-wide screen of...
