In an outbreak of Plasmodium falciparum malaria following refeeding after famine cerebral malaria was restricted to children eating grain. Nomad children consuming a predominantly milk diet were free of this complication despite an equivalent incidence of uncomplicated malaria. Freedom of nomads from cerebral complications may be due to inhibition by the milk diet of rapid division of the parasite combined with delayed recovery after famine of T cell function.
在饥荒后重新进食引发的恶性疟原虫疟疾疫情中，脑型疟疾仅限于食用谷物的儿童。尽管单纯性疟疾的发病率相当，但以奶类为主食的游牧儿童没有这种并发症。游牧儿童没有脑型并发症可能是由于奶类饮食抑制了寄生虫的快速分裂，同时饥荒后T细胞功能恢复延迟。
