Studies on human malaria in Aotus monkeys. VI. Infectivity of Plasmodium malariae to different Anophelines.
Anopheles freeborni, A. balabacensis balabacensis, A. atroparvus, A. stephensi, and A. maculatus mosquitoes were infected by feeding on 12 Aotus trivirgatus monkeys infected with a Nigerian strain of Plasmodium malariae. Comparative infectivity studies indicated that the first 2 species were the most heavily infected.
