Attempts to immunize monkeys against Plasmodium knowlesi by using heat-stable, serum-soluble antigens. 1977

W E Collins, and P G Contacos, and A J Harrison, and P S Stanfill, and J C Skinner

Thirty-six Macaca mulatta monkeys were immunized with different concentrations and regimens of heat-stable, serum-soluble (S-) antigens of Plasmodium knowlesi prior to challenge with the homologous parasite via sporozoite inoculation. Fewer deaths and reduced maximum parasitemias occurred in those animals inoculated with 10 to 40 mg of S-antigen compared to nonimmunized monkeys or those receiving only Freund's adjuvant. Protection was incomplete, however, suggesting that atibodies to S-antigens may have a limited role in protection of hosts to malarial infection.

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D010961 Plasmodium A genus of protozoa that comprise the malaria parasites of mammals. Four species infect humans (although occasional infections with primate malarias may occur). These are PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; PLASMODIUM OVALE, and PLASMODIUM VIVAX. Species causing infection in vertebrates other than man include: PLASMODIUM BERGHEI; PLASMODIUM CHABAUDI; P. vinckei, and PLASMODIUM YOELII in rodents; P. brasilianum, PLASMODIUM CYNOMOLGI; and PLASMODIUM KNOWLESI in monkeys; and PLASMODIUM GALLINACEUM in chickens.
