title: The erythrocytic schizogony of two synchronized strains of plasmodium berghei, NK65 and ANKA, in normocytes and reticulocytes.
abstract: By a modified Percoll-glucose centrifugation technique the rings and young trophozoites of two strains of Plasmodium berghei, NK65 and ANKA, were separated from the other erythrocytic stages and inoculated into mice. The subsequent infection was followed for ANKA in normal mice and for NK65 in normal mice and in mice with high-grade reticulocytosis induced by injections of phenylhydrazine. The duration of the erythrocytic schizogony of the NK65 strain was shown to be independent of the age of the host cell, and the hour of inoculation did not influence the cycle of the ANKA strain.
