Hemoglobinopathies, Merozoite Surface Protein-2 Gene Polymorphisms, and Acquisition of Epstein Barr Virus Among Infants in Western Kenya

2022-11-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-associated endemic Burkitt's Lymphoma pediatric cancer is associated with morbidity and mortality among children resident in holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum regions in western Kenya. P. falciparum exerts a strong selection pressure on sickle cell trait (SCT), alpha thalassemia (-α 3.7 /αα), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), and merozoite surface protein 2 (M...
