Summary

Infection with Plasmodium vivax was established in splenectomized Callithrix jacchus marmosets by inoculation of parasitized blood from Aotus trivirgatus carrying the Vietnam Palo-Alto line of P. vivax. Subsequent blood passage through intact marmosets resulted in higher peak parasitaemias (about 1% of red cells infected) and the loss of stainable Schüffner's dots in infected cells. Primary infections with the adapted line were patent for 74 days or more, and induced both a substantial antibody response, as determined by indirect fluorescence, and some lymphocytosis, but no marked anaemia. Marmosets which had recovered from their primary infection (or in which it was drug-cured) suffered abbreviated patency with low-grade parasitaemia on re-infection.
