Cytochemical study on Malarial parasite and host cell membrane.
The avian malarial parasite, Plasmodium lophurae, and its host cell membrane were studied using cationized ferritin, ferritin conjugated lectin and anti plasmodial antibody. The parasites showed little exposed carbohydrate. Cap formation was observed on the parasite membrane. Clustering of Con A binding sites of the infected cells was demonstrated.
