Abstract

Anopheles freeborni mosquitoes were infected by feeding on New World monkeys, Aotus trivirgatus, infected with a Nigerian strain of Plasmodium malariae. The infection was passed to human volunteers through the bites of these mosquitoes, demonstrating the practicability of using a simian host for infection of mosquitoes with a third species of human malaria parasite and of the use of such mosquitoes to transmit the infection from monkey to man.
