Figure 3

As shown in this figure, there were no significant differences in the parasite counts (in acute and recrudescent infections taken together) between carriers of the different CRP — 286 genotypes, AA, AC, AT, CC, CT and TT, in Daraweesh (malaria seasons 1998 and 1999), P = 0.384. However, the parasite count was significantly higher among the A-allele carriers compared with the non-A-allele carriers (P = 0.039), but there were no significant differences between the C- and T-allele carriers compared with the non-C-and non-T-allele carriers, respectively. The break in the x-axis separates the genotypes from the alleles of the CRP gene.
