The effect of declining exposure on T cell-mediated immunity to Plasmodium falciparum – an epidemiological “natural experiment”
BACKGROUND: Naturally acquired immunity to malaria may be lost with lack of exposure. Recent heterogeneous reductions in transmission in parts of Africa mean that large populations of previously protected people may lose their immunity while remaining at risk of infection. METHODS: Using two ethnica...
