31 32 Immunity to Blood Parasites of Animals and Man variation represents solely the loss and acquisition of antigenicaily different molecules on the surface of the parasite or parasitized ceil or whether parasite populations recognized as antigenically different by the host also differ in other physiological and biochemical parameters that ensure their survival and eventual transmission from host to host. The fact remains that the ability to undergo antigenic variation apparently confers on these parasites a remarkable advantage in ensuring their survival in and transmission from an immunocompetent host.
