Killing of blood-stage murine malaria parasites by hydrogen peroxide

H M Dockrell et al. Infect Immun. 1983 Jan.

Abstract

Both nonlethal Plasmodium yoelii and lethal Plasmodium berghei were killed in vitro by hydrogen peroxide at concentrations as low as 10(-5) M. Higher concentrations were required in the presence of added normal erythrocytes. Injection of hydrogen peroxide in vivo significantly reduced P. yoelii parasitemia but had less effect on P. berghei.
