  abstract = {{M}alarial infections have long been recognized as a driver of human evolution, as demonstrated by the influence of {P}lasmodium falciparum on sickle-cell anemia persistence. {D}uffy-negativity is another blood disorder thought to have been selected because it confers nearly complete resistance against {P}lasmodium vivax infection. {R}ecent evidence suggests that the benefits of being {D}uffy negative cannot be expected to play a strong selective pressure on humans, whereas its costs cannot be considered as negligible. {H}ere, we suggest that the cross-talk between {P}. falciparum and {P}. vivax in coinfected children could represent the most parsimonious explanation of the frequency of {D}uffy-negativity. {W}e discuss how this new hypothesis could be tested and call for a reconsideration of the evolution of the {D}uffy-negative group.},
