Isolates of Plasmodium inui adapted to Macaca mulatta monkeys and laboratory-reared anopheline mosquitoes for experimental study.
Plasmodium inui is a parasite of macaques and other nonhuman primates in Asia that is studied as a model for the human malaria parasite P. malariae. Presented here are descriptions of the isolation, passage histories into Macaca mulatta monkeys, and infectivity to different Anopheles spp. mosquitoes of 18 different isolates of this parasite.
