Abstract
AbstractMan is concerned with only four well-authenticated species, Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, P. malariae and P. ovale, of some 140 known species, of the protozoon Plasmodium which, transmitted by the female anopheline mosquito, are the cause of malaria. There is a high degree of specificity in host-parasite relationships for, with the exception of Plasmodium vivax which can produce a mild parasitaemia in chimpanzees1, none of the human parasites has yet been transmitted to other animals.
