Summary
The following observations resulted from studies of natural and induced infections of Plasmodium floridense infections in Sceloporus undulatus undulatus.
- 1. No demonstrable increase in parasite density occurred if blood films were made daily. Frequent blood collections apparently depressed the peak of parasitemia.
- 2. Massive inoculum caused early death of experimental animals and, in this study, inoculated animals died during or soon after the acute rise of parasites.
- 3. No relapses were observed in naturally infected animals; decline and increase of parasite production was observed in a few instances.
- 4. Long patent periods were characteristic of the infections.
