Figure 4. Worm mortality rate and malaria recovery rate as functions of mean worm burden.

Figure 4

Increases in worm burden skew the immune system towards a Th2 response, lowering worm mortality rate (a) and human recovery rate (b) from malaria. The two curves in (a) represent the worm death rate in malaria-infected (upper) and malaria-susceptible human hosts (lower).
