Abstract
In the Madagascar Highlands, 0·76% of children from 168 random primary schools, and 19 of 150 families from 3 villages, had oval-shaped erythrocytes. Most harboured the deletion in the band 3 gene characteristic of South-East Asian ovalocytosis. This genetic trait supports the Indonesian origin of the Madagascar settlement.
