E.; King, Christopher L.; Michon, Pascal; Mueller, Ivo // PLoS Medicine;Sep2012, Vol. 9 Issue 9, p1
Background: The erythrocyte polymorphism, Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO) (which results from a 27-base pair deletion in the erythrocyte band 3 gene, SLC4A1?27) protects against cerebral malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum; however, it is unknown whether this polymorphism also protects...

Background: Paroxysms are recurrent febrile episodes, characteristic of Plasmodium vivax infections, which coincide with the rupture of schizont-infected erythrocytes in the patients' circulation. The present study describes the formation of prominent aggregates of leukocytes in vitro in the...
