Description:
Gametocytes of two strains of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have been produced in high density by means of a continuous-flow cultivation system. The gametocytes of these two strains infected a mean of 36 percent and 71 percent, respectively, of Anopheles freeborni mosquitoes that fed on a suspension of red blood cells containing the culture gametocytes. Sporozoites harvested from the infected mosquito salivary glands were infective to the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus).〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Campbell, C C -- Collins, W E -- Nguyen-Dinh, P -- Barber, A -- Broderson, J R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Sep 10;217(4564):1048-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7051285" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
