Anemia in parasite- and recombinant protein-immunized aotus monkeys infected with Plasmodium falciparum.

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum-induced anemia was characterized in Aotus monkeys repeatedly immunized by infection with P. falciparum (FVO strain) parasites, then cross-challenged with CAMP strain, or in monkeys receiving blood stage challenges as part of malaria vaccine trials.
