Plasmodium inui shortti was studied in monkeys (66 Macaca mulatta, 2 M. fascicularis, 12 Saimiri boliviensis, 4 Aotus lemurinus griseimembra, and 1 A. nancymaae). Prepatent periods for 30 sporozoite transmissions by Anopheles stephensi, An. dirus, and An. maculatus mosquitoes ranged from 10 to 48 days with a median of 15.5 days. In rhesus monkeys, mean maximum parasite counts for intact animals were 181,970/μL; for splenectomized animals, the mean maximum parasite count was 1,167,890/μL.
