The inrease in ouabain-insensitive 86Rb+ influx was due, in part, increased transport via a bumetanide-sensitive system and, in part to transport via a pathway that was absent (or at least inactive) in uninfected cells. The parasite-induced pathway was inhibited by piperine and had a dose response very similar to that of the Gardo's channel of uninfected cells but was less sensitive than the Gardos channel to inhibition by quinine.4en(Human erythrocyte)(P. faiciparum)Infected erythrocyteRubidium-86 transportCharacteristics of <sup>86</sup>Rb<sup>+</sup> transport in human erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum1991-01-3010.1016/0005-2736(91)90296-K0026433784
