AB  - In recent years, associations of particular factors of the human leukocyte 
      antigen (HLA) system with two major infectious diseases of tropical countries 
      have been recognized: common West African HLA antigens are associated with 
      protection from severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and HLA-D alleles are 
      associated with generalized disease, localized disease and putative immunity in 
      Onchocerca volvulus infection. Here, Christian Meyer and Peter Kremsner summarize 
      current information on the involvement of HLA factors in P. falciparum malaria 
      and O. volvulus infection, and briefly report on HLA-related immunological 
      characteristics of various conditions in these infectious diseases.
