Genetic variation in human HBB is associated with Plasmodium falciparum transmission.
Genetic factors are known to have a role in determining susceptibility to infectious diseases, although it is unclear whether they may also influence host efficiency in transmitting pathogens. We examine variants in HBB that have been shown to be protective against malaria and test whether these are...
