Sites of Sequestration of the Achiote Strain of Plasmodium vivax-Infected Red Blood Cells in the Marmoset Sanguinius geoffroyi

One adult and one juvenile marmoset were infected with the Achiote strain of Plasmodium vivax. The animals were killed when the peripheral parasitemia was approximately 2%. Organ-tissue crushes were prepared from the brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, and bone marrow. Microscopic examination...

Description
Summary:One adult and one juvenile marmoset were infected with the Achiote strain of Plasmodium vivax. The animals were killed when the peripheral parasitemia was approximately 2%. Organ-tissue crushes were prepared from the brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, and bone marrow. Microscopic examination of the respective tissues showed a higher concentration of schizont-infected red blood cells in the liver, lung, and spleen of juveniles.
