Abstract
NIH-white mice were injected with varying doses of Plasmodium vinckei or Plasmodium yoelii lethal via the hind footpad (FP), intraperitoneal (IP), subcutaneous (SC) routes. Survival was dependent on the dose of the inoculum and route of injection. Injection via the IP and SC routes led to higher mortality than the FP route. The results showed that at a dose of 10 4 parasitized erythrocytes injected IP led to 100% mortality, whereas the same dose injected via the FP route gave protection.
