malaria Infection

92
Q

Africans and black Americans, who typically lack the Duffy antigens Fy a and Fyb, have been found to be resistant to infection by [?], a malaria parasite.

A

Plasmodium vivax

93
Q

Studies conducted by Miller et al in 1955 demonstrated that [?] only invade red blood cells (RBCs) carrying normal Fya or Fyb antigens. Blocking these antigen sites with antibodies or denaturing enzymes rendered RBCs resistant to invasion,

A

malaria merozoites

94
Q

Based on in-vivo epidemiologic data and parallel resistance factors for [?] (a simian malaria parasite) and P. vivax in West African populations, it was suggested that Fya and Fyb might serve as the invasion receptors for P. vivax.

A

P. knowlesi

95
Q

The invasion process involves two receptor sites:

A

one for initial attachment and another for invasion.

96
Q

While [?] occurs irrespective of Duffy type, the subsequent junction and [?] are Duffy antigen-dependent.

invasion

97
Q
