Infection and Transmission Studies with Plasmodium simiovale in the Macaca mulatta Monkey

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: Six different anophelines--Anopheles freeborni, An. b. balabacensis, An. maculatus, An. stephensi, An. atroparvus, and An. quadrimaculatus--were shown to be susceptible to infection with Plasmodium simiovale when fed upon splenectomized Macaca mulatta monkeys between the 1st and 26th days of patent parasitemia. Transmission was obtained via the bites of An. b. balabacensis and An. maculatus mosquitoes. Prepatent periods in M. mulatta monkeys following sporozoite inoculation ranged from 11 to 20 days with a median of 14 days.
