Susceptibility to Experimental Cerebral Malaria Induced byPlasmodium bergheiANKA in Inbred Mouse Strains Recently Derived from Wild Stock
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
The neurological syndrome caused by Plasmodium berghei ANKA in rodents partially mimics the human disease. Several rodent models of cerebral malaria (CM) exist for the study of the mechanisms that cause the disease. However, since common laboratory mouse strains have limited gene pools, the role of their phenotypic variations causing CM is restricted. This constitutes an obstacle for efficient genetic analysis...
