CD34 and infection: For example, those that have shown reduced BFU-E and CFU-E numbers in the bone marrow of infected mice (Maggio-Price et al., 1985), suppressed erythropoiesis in the spleen and bone marrow during the early stages of infection (using microarray analysis) (Sexton et al., 2004), lower numbers of BFU-E in the bone marrow of P. falciparum-infected children from Gambia who exhibited moderate to severe malaria (Abdalla and Wickramasinghe, 1988) and suppressed in vitro development of CD34+/erythroid progenitor cells following exposure to P. vivax (Panichakul et al., 2012).
