TL;DR: The current hypothesis is that there is differential antibody level and quality between the sexes, based on earlier work in schistosomiasis showing higher levels of antibodies in females.
Abstract: Our current hypothesis is that there is differential antibody level and quality between the sexes. This is based on earlier work in schistosomiasis showing higher levels of antibodies in females. Females have also been shown to have lower malaria parasite density although the explanation for this was thought to be hormonal.

TL;DR: The present data support the use of serological methods for integrated surveillance of neglected tropical diseases such as soil-transmitted helminths, lymphatic filariasis and bilharzia and the observation of lower anti-SEA IgG levels in the malaria resistant Fulani population warrants further investigation into the immunological cross-talk between S. haematobium and P. falciparum.
