Effect of tissue culture media on multiplication of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro.
To date RPMI-1640 has been the best medium for cultivation of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. In addition to this medium, several alternative media, essentially the ones used in animal and plant tissue culture, were employed for the cultivation of P. falciparum. Only the media rich in glucose content, viz. Nitsch medium and White's medium S-3, supported the parasite multiplication.
