Parasites that alter the behavior of the host Giardia lamblia – induce biochemical change in the host cells at the site of infection (duodenal epithelium) Parasites – have life cycles that often involve several hosts (survival

If those with the two copies of sickle cell are infected with malaria they almost have no chance to survive due to the lack of functioning red blood cells they contain. Therefore in areas where malaria occurs‚ people who have sickle cell will have both alleles in order to be able to adapt and survive due to balancing

innovation that allowed the Europeans to colonize Africa in the 19th Century was Quinine. (Document G) Quinine allowed for the treatment of Malaria. Malaria being a very dangerous disease‚ had previously limited most Europeans to settling on the coast of Africa in fortresses.
