Abstract

Sporozoites of Plasmodium cynomolgi, Plasmodium knowlesi, and Plasmodium coatneyi were deposited onto monolayers of hepatocytes from rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). When sporozoites were centrifuged (1,600 g for 5 min), 4-13-fold more schizonts were observed than were found in noncentrifuged control cultures. Centrifugation of hepatocyte monolayers before adding sporozoites did not modify the number of parasites.
