Malaria is associated with Burkitts lymphoma , however the evidence with acute leukemia is not reported.
Yes why not malaria parasites attack white blood cells and at schizont stage the induce paroxysms of fever that takes away a lot of energy which physiologically is interpreted by use of a lot mitochondria. Please read my publication with Anoka entitled The Analgesic Antiplasmodial Activity and Toxicology of Vernonia species in Journal of medicinal food
Lake Victoria region in Eastern Africa is a good a site to study correlation between acute leukemia and malaria in children since it is high incidence zone of malaria and there are children with acute leukemia let us roll out a study between you and Makerere University Medical School, Mbarara University Medical School and Kampala International University Medical school. This we will unearth recent and new developments to this relation and effects.
No evidence to date in my knowledge. However, a cohort study following childhood malaria cases may be designed to test the hypothesis.
That cohort study base must where there is high incidence of malaria of time like the Lake Victoria region; it should also take into account different scientific advances like the experimental trials of releasing single sex mosquitoes of the anopheles mosquito to weed away the transmitter anopheles viz other areas where it is purely at random that any anopheles mosquito bit has high chances of transmitting malaria like in fishing villages in the lake region islands unlike the shores or mainland where in door spraying and close to the research area many mutations in the mosquito population have occurred. This is would further explain some of the un answered questions at hand.
