Extract

Uninfected erythrocytes of Rana boyli, in the presence of glucose, utilized 214μ1. O2/hr./108 cells. Cells infected with Haemogregarina boyli increased oxygen consumption approximately 12% for a 10% rate of infection. Alkaline phosphatase and zymohexase, but not acid phosphatase, urease, lipase or peroxidase, were demonstrated in the parasites by cytochemical means.
