Thiruchandurai Rajan, Julie Moore and Leonard Shultz here review the evolution of technology in murine xeno-lymphohemopoietic chimeras, produced by engraftment with xenogeneic (fetal or adult) progenitor cells or mature lymphohemopoietic tissues into immunodeficient mice, and their use as hosts for hemoprotozoan parasites. Particular attention is paid to the development of chimeras that house xenogeneic peripheral red blood cells (xeno-RBC). These chimeras are potentially invaluable models for hemoprotozoan parasites, such as Babesia and Plasmodium. There are, however, daunting limitations that have to be overcome before these models can become universally acceptable systems for the study of these parasitic agents.
