Description:
Serum samples from 158 West Africans were tested for antibodies against sporozoites, the vector stage of the malaria parasite. Antibodies specific for Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites were detected by means of the circumsporozoite precipitation assay and indirect immunofluorescence. More than 90 percent of the serum samples from adults gave positive immunofluorescent reactions against falciparum sporozoites, whereas most of the samples from children gave low or negative reactions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nardin, E H -- Nussenzweig, R S -- McGregor, I A -- Bryan, J H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Nov 2;206(4418):597-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/386511" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
