Male Buffalo rats which received aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) followed by Plasmodium berghei infection developed more preneoplastic lesions in the liver compared to those given AFB 1 alone. No preneoplastic lesions were found in the liver of control and malarial-treated animals. These findings suggest that the malarial parasite facilitates liver tumor development initiated by AFB 1 in rats. © 1986 Springer-Verlag.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyMedicineArticleSCOPUS10.1007/BF00404403
