Figure 1From: Apoptosis of non-parasitized red blood cells in malaria: a putative mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of anaemiaCourse of parasitaemia and progression of anaemia in P. yoelii 17XL infected Balb/c mice. Mice (n = 7) were inoculated with 106 P. yoelii 17XL-pRBC and parasitaemia and anaemia degree were measured. In parallel, non-infected, age-matched mice were used as control (n = 5). (A) Individual parasitaemia in infected mice on days 3 and 5-8 post-infection. (B) Means ± SD of the number of RBC/μL of blood in infected (open circles) and non-infected (closed squares) mice on days 3, 5 and 7 post-infection. Data are representative of two separate experiments.Back to article page
