Extracellular development, in vitro, of the erythrocytic cycle of Plasmodium falciparum.
One way to explore the nature of the dependence o f intracellular parasites on their host cell is to replace the living host cell with a non-living environment that supports development o f the parasite. Bill Trager, Jonathan Williams and Gokal Gill describe their methods for obtaining extracellulor development of erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum.
