A bench top magnetic separator is described which is suitable for separating red blood cells infected with malarial parasites from whole blood. The separator is based on a compact 0.7T permanent magnet and uses a high gradient magnetic filter of approximately 2.5 cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> volume. Experiments with malaria parasitised mouse red cells (Plasmodium berghei) show that final parasite concentrations in excess of 90% can be achieved.
The asexual cycle of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum has been cultivated in vitro in human blood. The parasites have been grown also in red blood cells in the presenc...
SYNOPSIS. Infected blood (from the rhesus monkey with P. coatneyi or an Aotus trivirgatus monkey with P. falciparum ) was placed in a special vial equipped with an overflow tube...
Plasmodium falciparum can now be maintained in continuous culture in human erythrocytes incubated at 38°C in RPMI 1640 medium with human serum under an atmosphere with 7 percent...
Normal duck erythrocytes and erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium lopharae have all of the enzymes for coenzyme A biosynthesis, whereas parasites freed from their host cells ha...
The culture method developed by Geiman and co-workers has been modified to give average multiplication rates for Plasmodium knowlesi of at least six-fold in 24 h. Individual mod...
