Quantitative genetic analysis of susceptibility to hookworm infection in a population from rural Zimbabwe.

Human biology - 1 Apr 1997

Williams-Blangero S, Blangero J, Bradley M

Abstract excerpt

Overdispersion is a common feature of population distribution patterns for hookworm infection in humans. Genetic factors may be partially responsible for this observed increased susceptibility in a fraction of the exposed population. However, the hypothesis that there are genetic components to susceptibility to this infectious disease has not been tested explicitly. The purpose of this study is to quantify the...
