Prevalence of the Main Human Genetic Variants Related to Resistance to Malaria in a Population of the Colombian Pacific Coast
These findings should be considered by public health and disease prevention authorities, as they highlight specific age groups and communities that may be more susceptible to malaria infection. They also identify groups that may contribute to the persistence and potential increase in the prevalence of haemoglobinopathies in the population over time.
