Abstract
A sporozoite-induced infection of Plasmodium falciparum (Burma-Thau. strain) was established in splenectomized Aotus trivirgatus which received prior treatment with dlmethionine as a dietary supplement. This is the first recorded instance of infection of an Aotus monkey with falciparum sporozoites of human origin.
