Abstract
SUMMARY: Erythrocyte invasion assays are described for two species of rodent malaria, namelyPlasmodium bergheiandP. c. chabaudi. These invasion assays are simple, are carried out using a candle jar and allow a number of assays to be performed simultaneously. Our results demonstrate that both rodent malaria species show anin vitropreference for reticulocytes although the preference ofP. c. chabaudifor these cells is not as marked as that ofP. berghei. The details of our invasion assays and our results obtained are discussed.Keywords
