Dear colleagues,
I was surprised to read that only two non-human primate species (Aotus
trivirgatus and Saimiri sciureus) are highly susceptible to Plasmodium
falciparum malaria. I wonder what the mechanism(s) might be making other
primates resistant?
Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
Best regards,
