Abstract excerpt
A primary infection with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi (AS) is characterized by an expansion of gammadelta cells after the acute phase of infection in mice. This is particularly marked during chronic infections in B cell-deficient mice. Infections in gammadelta T cell-deficient mice suggest that, although these cells play some role in the control of parasitaemia and can produce interferon-gamma, they do not appear...
