Giemsa staining showing asiatic acid (10 mg/kg) influence on cellular morphology. Micrographs were before (day 0), during (day 7) and after malarial infection (day 21) and were compared to IC (day 12) and CHQ (days 9 and 21) controls. Slide are from: a AA 10 adminisitered animals on day 7; b day 0; c IC day 12; d CHQ day 9; e AA 10 day 21; f CHQ day 21. Parasitized red blood cells (pRBCs) are indicated by black arrows in slide a, red arrows in slides c, d and f. Non-parasitized red blood cells (npRBCs) are shown in slides b and e. ×500 magnification used in all slides
