Can Thalassemia prevent Malaria?

Thalassemia itself does not prevent malaria, but individuals with thalassemia trait or certain forms of thalassemia may have a degree of protection against severe malaria due to the altered shape and function of their red blood cells. This change can make it more difficult for the malaria parasite to survive and reproduce. Consequently, while thalassemia does not prevent malaria infection, it can potentially reduce the severity of the disease in affected individuals.
