Abstract

Mössbauer studies of rat and human erythrocytes infected by malarial parasites have been carried out. Different parameters of the pigment iron were obtained in human and rat infected red blood cells. No difference was found between the parameters obtained in rat erythrocytes infected by drug sensitive and drug resistant strains of p. berghei, both before and after the treatment with chloroquine. The pigment was shown to contain a trivalent, high spin iron compound, which is different from hematin.
