Extract

An extract of blood from Aotus monkeys infected with Plasmodium falciparum contained all the clones of malaria precipitins so far identified in human blood.

We are grateful to the Medical Research Council and Overseas Development Administration of Great Britain and to the World Health Organization for their financial assistance.
