Abstract
In previous experiments a method was found for the cultivation of the exoerythrocytic form of Plasmodium gallinaceum in tissue cultures of embryonic chicken brain. It was found that proliferation of the parasites in tissue culture cells is very slow, and that the initial stages are difficult to observe in vivo and also in the stained cultures. Parasites were still found after 134 days of cultivation in tissue cultures.
