Duffy blood group negative human erythrocytes (FyFy) are resistant to infection byPlasmodium knowlesi, a simian malaria that infects Duffy positive human erythrocytes. TheP. knowlesiresistance factor, Duffy negative erythrocytes, occurs in high frequency in West Africa, where the people are resistant to vivax malaria. This suggests that Duffy blood group determinants (FyaorFyb) may be erythrocyte receptors forP. vivax.
