Parasitemia in rap2/3 parasite-infected mice was similar to that in control-parasite-infected mice until day 7 p.i. About 50% of B6 mice infected with rap2/3 parasites showed cerebral complications and died in a similar manner to mice infected with Pb ANKA at days 7-10 p.i., but approximately 40% of the mice ultimately cleared the parasites by day 60 p.i.
