Extract

1. Resistance to sulphanilamide, of a low order, has been developed in a strain of Plasmodium gallinaceum by the treatment of patent infections with the drug.

2. The sulphanilamide-resistant strain was resistant to paludrine over the whole range of doses tolerated by the host; it also proved to be resistant to sulphathiazole, sulphapyridine and sulpha-diazine, though the degree of resistance shown was much slighter than to paludrine.

3. Resistance to paludrine developed in the sulphanilamide-resistant strain before any resistance to sulphadiazine could be detected.
