Erythrocyte Receptors for ( Plasmodium Knowlesi ) Malaria: Duffy Blood Group Determinants

Miller, Louis H., Mason, Steven J., Dvorak, James A., McGinniss, Mary H., Rothman, Ivan K.·1975·Science

Abstract

Duffy blood group negative human erythrocytes ( FyFy ) are resistant to infection by Plasmodium knowlesi , a simian malaria that infects Duffy positive human erythrocytes. The P. knowlesi resistance factor, Duffy negative erythrocytes, occurs in high frequency in West Africa, where the people are resistant to vivax malaria. This suggests that Duffy blood group determinants ( Fy a or Fy b ) may be erythrocyte receptors for P. vivax .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
