Normal duck erythrocytes and erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium lopharae have all of the enzymes for coenzyme A biosynthesis, whereas parasites freed from their host cells have non. Since erythrocytefree cultivation of P. lophurae requires an exogenous source of coenzyme A, this parasite must obtain its coenzyme A entirely from the host cell during infection.
正常鸭红细胞和感染了罗氏疟原虫的红细胞都具备辅酶A生物合成所需的所有酶,而从宿主细胞中游离出来的寄生虫则没有。由于罗氏疟原虫的无红细胞培养需要外源性辅酶A,这种寄生虫在感染期间必定完全从宿主细胞获取其辅酶A。
