Abstract
SUMMARY: The pigment of Plasmodium berghei, a recently discovered parasite of a wild rodent, Thamnomys surdaster, in the Belgian Congo, has been isolated from the infected red cells of young rats in which the strain is maintained in the laboratory. It has been shown by chemical and spectroscopical evidence to be haematin.
