Association between Duffy blood group system variants and susceptibility and resistance to malaria in the Brazilian Amazon
The interaction between Duffy blood group proteins and Plasmodium vivax is necessary for the establishment of the erythrocytic phase of malaria, because these molecules act as receptors for the protozoan. This study showed significant associations between Duffy blood group variants and susceptibilit...
