Abstract
A quartan-type parasite of Old World monkeys has been found infective to man by the bites of infected mosquitoes (Anopheles stephensi and/or A. maculatus) in 2 volunteers and by the inoculation of parasitized blood in 5 volunteers. The prepatent period in the sporozoite-induced infections was 31 and 56 days with parasitemia for 21 and 24 days, respectively. The blood-induced infections were patent for 10 to 26 days. A quartan fever pattern was well marked in 2 volunteers with maximum fever of 103.2 F. The incidence of chills was low. Parasitized blood from four of the volunteers when injected into clean rhesus monkeys produced typical infections.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
