Polymorphisms in Anopheles gambiae immune genes associated with natural resistance to Plasmodium falciparum.
Many genes involved in the immune response of Anopheles gambiae, the main malaria vector in Africa, have been identified, but whether naturally occurring polymorphisms in these genes underlie variation in resistance to the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is currently unknown. Here we...
