Observations on the Host Hemoglobin during Plasmodium lophurae Infections in Chicks

Abstract
Electrophoretic analysis of the host hemoglobin prior to and during the course of parasitaemia with this malarial parasite demonstrates that (1) erythrocyte hemoglobin is not degraded outside the parasites body and (2) the host synthesizes its normal proportions of hemoglobins in spite of the increased anemia and reticulocytosis accompanying the infection.
