Rheopathologic Consequence of Plasmodium vivax Rosette Formation.

Rheopathologic Consequence of Plasmodium vivax Rosette Formation.

Malaria parasites dramatically alter the rheological properties of infected red blood cells. In the case of Plasmodium vivax, the parasite rapidly decreases the shear elastic modulus of the invaded RBC, enabling it to avoid splenic clearance. This study highlights correlation between rosette formati...
