Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies relating allelic variants in toll-like receptor (TLR) genes to the parasitological profile of Plasmodium vivax malaria are scarce. Therefore, we sought to assess whether polymorphisms in these genes can influence the clinical and parasitological aspects of individuals with P. vivax malaria in an endemic area from the Brazil-French Guiana border. METHODS: We analyzed 76 patients with P. vivax...
