Abstract
Hypnozoites of Plasmodium simiovale were detected in liver biopsies from a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) inoculated eight days previously with sporozoites from heavily infected anopheline mosquitoes. The tissue forms, 6 mu in diameter, were found within the cytoplasm of hepatic parenchymal cells by immunofluorescence and restained with Giemsa. This is the first report of latent, pre-erythrocytic stages from an ovale-type relapsing malaria.Entities:
