Postprandial lymphatic flux and malaria.
24 hours after an intra-peritoneal inoculation of frozen blood infected with Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis, the malarial infection is non detectable in most starved mice while it is patent in mice fed 2 hours before the inoculation. It is assumed that the post feeding lymphatic flow brings to the blood the latent merozoites.
