Prepatent periods of a tropical strain of Plasmodium vivax after inoculations of tenfold dilutions of sporozoites

Abstract
Eleven patients requiring malaria therapy were inoculated intradermally with graded doses of sporozoites of the Chesson strain of Plasmodium vivax. Estimated doses of 10 sporozoites were given to four patients, of 100 to three patients, of 1,000 to two patients, and of 10,000 to two patients. Parasitaemia was detected in all patients 12 to 17 days after inoculation; fever began on the 14th to 19th days.
