An investigation into the effects of Plasmodium parasite infection on the human odour profile

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Some studies suggest that Plasmodium parasites can change the attractiveness of their vertebrate hosts to Anopheles vectors. This is suggestive of parasite manipulation, where the parasite alters a host phenotype to the parasite’s own fitness benefit. In this instance, Plasmodium parasites may benefit from increased transmission via a greater number of vector-host contacts. Despite evidence that variation in human...
