Abstract
We have observed a dramatic increase in erythrocyte (RBC) adenosine deam;nase (ADA: E.C. 3.5.4.4) activity during malaria infection of the rhesus monkey. Previous studies in our laboratory using P. knowlesi infected rhesus monkeys showed cyclic changes in RBC purine metabolites-particularly ATP and GTP-that were associated with the stage of parasite schizogony (1).
