The Dantu blood group prevents parasite growth in vivo: Evidence from a controlled human malaria infection study
BACKGROUND: The long co-evolution of Homo sapiens and Plasmodium falciparum has resulted in the selection of numerous human genetic variants that confer an advantage against severe malaria and death. One such variant is the Dantu blood group antigen, which is associated with 74% protection against s...
