RESUMO
Aotus monkeys, which are generally killed when infected with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, have been identified and grouped by karyotype. These animals were immunized with parasite material obtained from P. falciparum cultivated in vitro which had been maintained in culture for over a year. When sufficient amounts of this antigenic material were used with a synthetic muramyl dipeptide (MDP), protective immunity was induced without presenting the antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant.
