title: Serum-free cultivation of several Plasmodium falciparum strains.
abstract: Plasmodium falciparum strains from different malaria-endemic regions were grown in continuous culture without human serum. The medium was complemented with Nutridoma-SR instead of serum. All parasite strains developed well in serum-free medium. Two strains were thawed without serum and showed good multiplication in subsequent continuous culture.
