genetic resistance to malaria — Definition
Sıtmaya genetik direnç / genetic resistance to malaria
Genetic resistance to sıtma is the condition of natural protection against malaria infection caused by Plasmodium parasites due to certain variations in the genetic structure of the individual. Among the most known examples, orak cell anemia contains hemoglobinopathy such as talasemi and G6PD deficiency, these genetic changes make it difficult for the parasite to multiply in red blood cells, allowing partial immunity to the disease. Clinically, this resistance occurs more often in living populations in areas where malaria is endemic, reducing the severity of the disease.
