Abstract
In areas of the world that are endemic for malaria, humans often harbour a complex mixture of different species and/or genotypically distinct isolates of the same malaria species[ 1 Richie T.L. Interactions between malaria parasites infecting the same vertebrate host. Parasitology. 1988; 96: 607-639 Crossref PubMed Scopus (111) Google Scholar , 2 Paul R.E. et al. Mating patterns in malaria parasite populations of Papua New Guinea. Science. 1995; 269: 1709-1711 Crossref PubMed Scopus (270) Google Scholar ]. One question that has long intrigued malaria immunologists is: do different malaria parasites co-infecting an individual interact with each other and, if so, to what degree might this affect the immune response to, and density of, each parasite population?
