P. chabaudi/P. berghei infection results in anemia with low parasitemia. C57BL/6 mice were infected with 10⁶ P. berghei IRBCs when naïve (P. berghei infected) or following recovery from P. chabaudi infection (Pch-Pb). P. chabaudi- and sham-infected mice received RPMI 1640 i.p. Day 0 designates the day of infection with P. berghei (Pb). (A and B) Parasitemia and RBC density of an infection allowed to proceed to conclusion; (C to F) abbreviated infection. Data points are means with standard deviations. n = 4 to 5 mice per group.
