Immunogenetic response to a malaria-like parasite in a wild primate

2020-11-24

Abstract excerpt

Malaria is infamous for the massive toll it exacts on human life and health. In the face of this intense selection, many human populations have evolved mechanisms that confer some resistance to the disease, such as sickle-cell hemoglobin or the Duffy null blood group. Less understood are adaptations in other vertebrate hosts, many of which have a longer history of co-evolution with malaria parasites. By comparing...
