Controlled Human Malaria Infection reveals that the Dantu blood group variant provides high level protection against uncomplicated malaria

2022-09-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> The long co-evolution of Homo sapiens and Plasmodium falciparum has resulted in the selection of numerous human genetic variants that confer an advantage against severe malaria and death. One such variant is the Dantu blood group antigen, which is associated with 74% protection against severe and complicated P. falciparum malaria infections in homozygous individuals, similar to that provi...
