Furthermore, PbAAma1OVA-infected Ifnar1-/- mice showed a survival rate of 65% and comparable parasitemia as seen in infected WT mice, which was similar to the observations by Ball et al. and Palomo et al., whereas Edwards et al. described a reduced peripheral parasitemia in infected Ifnar1-/- mice (35, 36, 46). The gene discussed is IFNAR1; the disease is parasitic infectious disease.
