Plasmodium berghei strain NK65 infection induces platelet activation. a Number of circulating platelets was analysed on day one, four and nine after infection. Blood was drawn from the tail vein and labelled with CD41+ antibody for platelet identification. Specified amount of beads, of known size were added for quantification of platelets by cytometry. b, c were analysed 9 days after infection. b Analysis of platelet/monocytes heteroaggregates by labelling with CD41+ and CD14+, respectively. c Analysis of platelet/neutrophils heteroaggregates by labelling with CD41+ and Ly6-Gr1.CD14+, respectively. Each bar composed of five animals, representative of five experiments where *p ≤ 0.05 when compared to uninfected control. P values were generated using an unpaired T-test
