Time course of serum nuclease activity in mice infected with plasmodium malariae

Time course of DNase and RNase activities in the sera of random-bred mice infected with Plasmodium malariae (chloroquine-sensitive strain H) was studied. Similarly to viral infection, infection with a protozoa eukaryotic parasite was accompanied by increased DNAse and RNAse activities, though Plasmodium malariae biologically differes from viruses.
