Abstract
Anopheles freeborni mosquitoes were infected by feeding on a New World monkey, Aotus trivirgatus , infected with the Malayan IV strain of Plasmodium falciparum . After a normal incubation period, the infection was passed to a human volunteer through the bites of these mosquitoes, demonstrating for the first time the practicability of using a simian host as a donor for the infection of mosquitoes with this species of human malarial parasites.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
