title: Attempts to transmit the N-3 strain of Plasmodium fieldi to Aotus monkeys.
abstract: Aotus lemurinus griseimembra monkeys inoculated with parasitized erythrocytes of the N-3 strain of Plasmodiumfieldi had transient low-density parasitemia. Exoerythrocytic stages of this strain of parasite were demonstrated in sections of liver from Aotus vociferans monkeys taken 8 days after the intravenous inoculation of sporozoites dissected from the salivary glands of Anopheles dirus mosquitoes; no blood-stage infections were observed.
