Extract

P. gallinaceum was cultivated in tissue cultures for 1 year. The cultures showed the same high-grade infection as has been observed previously with Toxoplasma and Trypanosoma cruzi, and made possible new observations upon the living parasite.

It has not been possible to obtain in vitro the passage from the exo- into the endoerythrocytic form.

The parasites can survive in tissue cultures, maintained at room temperature, for 23 days.

Observations concerning the periodicity and the phases of the cycle in tissue cultures are being investigated.
