2000, International Journal for ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :However, none of these hypotheses explain the variability of chloroquine action according to the strain used. Experiments with clones of Plasmodium chabaudi (CR and ER) were recently conducted [5,8]. The authors observed in mice, 4–6 days post-treatment with 12 mg/kg chloroquine, a gametocytic index (number of gametocytes/number of parasites) 2.5 times higher than in control animals.
