Descrizione dell’editore

INTRODUCTION The association of genetic markers with malaria has been the subject of numerous investigations, since the protection afforded by sickle-cell hemoglobin against infection by falciparum malaria parasite. A broad range of available evidence suggests that the origin, distribution and relative proportion of ABO blood groups in humans may have been directly influenced by selective genetic pressure from Plasmodium falciparum infection (1). Clinical reports of ABO blood groups and P. falciparum infection, reveals a correlation between disease severity and ABO groups. However, several studies undertaken have been unable to link ABO blood groups to the incidence of malaria or to the repeat attacks of malaria (2,3).
