He expanded his study area beyond Kenya to the rest of East Africa to see if malaria and sickle disease were connected. He evaluated blood samples for malaria parasites and the presence of sickle cells. Dr. Allison gathered blood samples from more than 5,000 children in East Africa. He analyzed the samples to identify malaria parasites and sickle cells. He found that children carrying the sickle cell character (or trait) had a lower parasite count, as if they were partially protected against malaria.
