The effect of human genetic factors on childhood malaria in Asembo, Western Kenya

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Human genetic factors confer protection or susceptibility to malaria. Classical examples include sickle cell trait, which confers up to 90% protection from severe <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> malaria and Duffy antigen negativity, which offers almost complete resistance to <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> infection. Unfortunately, such genetic factors are insufficiently understood to design interventions. I conducted the cu...
