There is accumulating evidence of host genetic control in malaria infection and, in humans, some genes have been associated with severe malaria. Nevertheless, other important genes controlling blood infection levels, malarial disease and immune responses are likely to be identified. In this paper, we focus on segregation and linkage analyses of blood infection levels in an urban population living in Burkina Faso. We found evidence of a complex genetic control and a linkage to chromosome 5q31-q33. The identification of genes controlling complex traits related to malaria infection should be helpful in understanding protective mechanisms and the relationship between infection, malaria attacks and severe malaria.
