The effect of the malaria parasite plasmodium berghei berghei on the estrus cycle was studied in rodents. It was observed that there was a delay at the proestrus phase of the estrus cycle. Endocrinological evidence for lack of ovulation at estrus during infection was presented. Although there was an elevation in the level of immune complexes and white blood cell counts, the red blood cell counts decreased as infection progressed. Anal temperature recordings showed pyrexia. There was a wide difference in the mating success of the control group when compared to the experimental group.
研究了疟原虫伯氏疟原虫对啮齿动物发情周期的影响。观察到发情周期的发情前期出现延迟。给出了感染期间发情期无排卵的内分泌学证据。尽管免疫复合物水平和白细胞计数升高，但随着感染进展红细胞计数下降。肛门温度记录显示发热。与实验组相比，对照组的交配成功率存在很大差异。
