IPlasmodium chabaudi/I Merozoites Obtained through a Simpler Method Do Not Survive in Classically Activated Macrophages
Malaria is caused by apicomplexan parasites of the Plasmodium genus. Plasmodium chabaudi is an excellent animal model for the study of human malaria caused by P. falciparum. Merozoites invade erythrocytes but are also found in other host cells including macrophages from the spleen and liver. Methodo...

description | Malaria is caused by apicomplexan parasites of the Plasmodium genus. Plasmodium chabaudi is an excellent animal model for the study of human malaria caused by P. falciparum. Merozoites invade erythrocytes but are also found in other host cells including macrophages from the spleen and liver. Methodologies for obtaining merozoites usually involve treatment with protease inhibitors. However, merozoites obtained in this way may have their enzymatic profile altered and, therefore, are not ideal for cell-interaction assays. We report the obtainment of P. chabaudi merozoites naturally egressed from a synchronous erythrocyte population infected with schizonts forms. Merozoites had their infectivity and ultrastructure analyzed. Interaction assays were performed with mice erythrocytes and classically activated mice peritoneal macrophages, a very well-established classic model. Obtained merozoites were able to kill mice and efficiently infect erythrocytes. Interestingly, a lower merozoite:erythrocyte ratio resulted in a higher percentage of infected erythrocytes. We describe a simpler method for obtaining viable and infective merozoites. Classically activated macrophages killed merozoites, suggesting that these host cells may not serve as reservoirs for these parasites. These findings have implications for our understanding of P. chabaudi merozoite biology and may improve the comprehension of their host–parasite relationship. |
