Development of Plasmodium inui in the Aotus trivirgatus monkey.
Four splenectomized Aotus trivirgatus griseimembra monkeys were affected with the OS strain of Plasmodium inui, a parasite of Old World macaques. High parasite densities were obtained and two of the animals died. Surviving animals maintained low to moderate level of chronic infections. Three of the four animals produced parasitemias which infected Anopheles dirus mosquitoes; oocyst densities were very low, however.
