Abstract excerpt

Three hundred million individuals are at risk of infection by schistosomes and around 200,000 die each year of this disease. Severe clinical disease in schistosomiasis is often the consequence of heavy infection which, in several endemic areas, are determined largely by the susceptibility/resistance of individuals. Previously, we reported evidence, based on a segregation analysis in Brazilian pedigrees, that...
