Child hospitalization due to severe malaria is associated with the ICAM-1Kilifi allele but not adherence patterns of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells to ICAM-1

The y-axis represents the number of IRBCs samples from the different ICAM-1 genotypes that bound or did not bind to purified ICAM-1. Binders were parasites from any of the ICAM-1 child genotype binding to ICAM-1 such that the number of parasites binding to ICAM-1 was more than twice as much as the number of same parasites binding to BSA.
