A second batch of 56 samples (spleens and nodes), taken from 5 different areas was also received.
Out of 20,000 residents in the area, the malariologists examined only about 5,000 blood preparations and 3,000 spleens.
Post-mortem examination showed a predominantly left-sided liver, a right-sided stomach and right-sided multiple spleens.
Mixed infections were pathogenic to the mice, whose livers and spleens were substantially enlarged.
During the same period 15 593 spleens and 8013 sera were analysed from hunted wild boar.
At 3 days of infection tibias and spleens were removed.
Livers, spleens and hearts were dissected and weighed.
When a palpable spleen is present, it is generally appreciated within 3-4days of the onset of symptoms.
