The LOD scores in bold were deemed significant (P<0.05) after 1000 permutations.

Phenotypes, plasma cytokine/chemokine levels or day 5 parasitemia (D5 para); MS marker, names of microsatellite markers; Chr, chromosome; Position, genetic distance in centiMorgan (cM); LOD score, logarithm of odds (LOD) scores calculated using R/qtl.
