Susceptibility of a New World Monkey to Plasmodium Malariae from Man
Abstract
Abstract
A strain of Plasmodium malariae from a patient with congenital quartan malaria was isolated in a splenectomized night monkey, Aotus trivirgatus. After a prepatent period of 100 days, the parasitemia developed to a peak of 97,920 parasites per cmm of blood. The strain is being maintained in splenectomized and intact A. trivirgatus.
