Abstract

Erythrocytes from Plasmodium berghei-infected blood show a decrease in deformability with increasing parasitaemia, as measured by filterability through polycarbonate sieves. A major fraction of cells carrying mature parasites and a smaller fraction carrying ring-stage parasites account for the obstruction of filtration, while the remaining infected cells do not contribute to the decrease in filterability. The relation of filterability to metabolic status in infected cells is discussed. © 1982, Birkhäuser Verlag. All rights reserved.
