Abstract
The youngest (rings and young trophozoites) erythrocytic stages of Pla smodium yoelii nigeriensis and P. yoelii killicki, two rodent malaria subspecies developing very asynchronously in the blood, were separated from the other stages using a discontinuous Percoll-glucose gradient. They were inoculated into mice and the subsequent infection remained synchronous for two generations. The duration of the asexual cycle was found to be 18 h.
