Severe symptoms of malaria retinopathy affecting large vessels. Examination of a representative infected mouse at 6DPI. (A) SLO native imaging with IR mode depicting the position of the respective OCT scan (D). (B) SLO native imaging in RF mode revealed large areas of retinal whitening (asterisks) that could be correlated to areas of non-perfusion (C, asterisks), vascular dilation in native imaging (A, arrow) and in ICG angiography (C, arrow), as well as with fluid accumulation seen in OCT imaging (D, arrowhead). (E) Histological sections detected sequestration of parasites in choroidal vessels. GFP expressing plasmodia (green), vascular CF8 staining (red). Scale bar in D = 200 µm; E = 40 µm.
