Extract

Owl monkeys infected with the Malayan Camp strain of Plasmodium falciparum were found to have malarial antigens in their serum at the height of infection. The antigens were identical with certain malarial S-antigens present in the sera of West African (Gambian) children acutely infected with P. falciparum. The infected owl monkey thus appears to provide an experimental model which is relevant to the study of the serology of human malaria.
