Heritability of P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria in a Karen population in Thailand.

vivax attacks shows a highly significant positive correlation with maximum or overall P. falciparum parasitemia (R = 0.12 and 0.05, p = 0.0003 and 0.005 respectively) but negligible or no significance with P. vivax parasite density phenotypes (Maximum: R = 0.1 p = 0.02, not significant after Bonferroni's correction and overall: R = 0.07 p = 0.25), (iii) Maximum P. falciparum density shows a positive correlation with maximum P. vivax density (R = 0.22, p = 0.0002).
