From: Plasmodium falciparum, but not P. vivax, can induce erythrocytic apoptosis
Representative flow cytometry analysis of erythrocytic apoptosis induced by plasma. Red blood cells (RBC) from a healthy individual were incubated for 48 h in plasma from control mice (A), P. yoelii-infected mice (B, early and; C, late stage of infection), healthy control individuals (D) or malaria patients infected with P. vivax (E) or P. falciparum (F). Apoptosis of RBC was detected using annexin V staining.
