Immunoregulation in murine malaria. Susceptibility of inbred mice to infection with Plasmodium yoelii depends on the dynamic interplay of host and parasite genes

Inbred and H-2 congenic mouse strains were tested for their ability to resist infections with the non-lethal 17X or with the lethal YM isolates of Plasmodium yoelii. DBA/2 and B10.D2 mice, which best resisted infections with non-lethal P. yoelii, were exquisitely susceptible to infection with lethal...
