Malaria liver stage susceptibility locus identified on mouse chromosome 17 by congenic mapping.
Host genetic variants are known to confer resistance to Plasmodium blood stage infection and to control malaria severity both in humans and mice. This work describes the genetic mapping of a locus for resistance to liver stage parasite in the mouse. First, we show that decreased susceptibility to th...
