In Vitro Cultivation of Exoerythrocytic Stages of the Human Malaria Parasite Plasmodium Malariae

Exoerythrocytic stage parasites of Plasmodium malariae were obtained in vitro by inoculating primary cultures of hepatocytes from a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and a monkey (Aotus lemurinus griseimembra) with sporozoites. Schizonts were observed in chimpanzee hepatocytes 8, 11, and 13 days after inoculation. Only 1 schizont was seen in Aotus hepatocytes at day 13. The morphology and development rates of P. malariae exoerythrocytic stages obtained in vitro were similar to those previously described in vivo.

Accepted for publication September 24, 1987.
