Long-term studies on rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) immunized against Plasmodium knowlesi.

E J Cabrera, M L Barr and P H Silverman

ABSTRACT

Studies carried out on four rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) that had been vaccinated against Plasmodium knowlesi show that the immunized animals were protected against a challenge with a heterologous strain of P. knowlesi. This protection was shown to be present even 4 years after the immunization schedule has been completed. The effect could not be attributed toprevious infections with the parasite, since four control rhesus monkeys that had recovered from one to four challenges with P. knowlesi died when exposed to the heterologous strain. Data obtained from the lymphocyte transformation test and the radioimmunoassay are also presented.
