An in vitro erythrocyte preference assay reveals that Plasmodium falciparum parasites prefer Type O over Type A erythrocytes
Abstract Malaria has been one of the strongest selective forces on the human genome. The increased frequency of haemoglobinopathies, as well as numerous other blood groups, in malaria endemic regions is commonly attributed to a protective effect of these alleles against malaria. In the majority of t...
