Abstract:
The blood of mice infected artificially with plasmodia yoelii and patients with benign tertian malaria taken as the experimental samples were centrifuged in the microhematocrit tubes with added medium of particular specific gravity, the blood films were prepared from the layer of concentrated plasmodia as a result of centrifugation, stained with Giemsa and then subjected to calculating the rate at which the red cells were infected by the plasmodia. The result of experiment showed that the centrifugation of blood samples in the microhematocrit tubes with the added medium was able to enrich the plasmodia more effectively than that in microhematocrit tubes without the added medium.
