Plasmodium falciparum growth inhibition by human platelets in vitro
1989
Our aim is to assess the growth of Plasmodium falciparum, cultured in human erythrocytes in the presence of fresh washed human platelets, since thrombocytopaenia is frequently observed during malarial infections. Our results show that platelets induce a dose-related growth inhibition of P. falciparum. Both proliferation and maturation of intraerythrocytic stages of the parasite are inhibited
