Comparison of indirect haemagglutination and immunofluorescence tests for malaria antibody in Aotus monkeys infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Application of indirect haemagglutination tests for malaria.

Longitudinal observations were made on 6 Aotus monkeys repeatedly infected with Plasmodium falciparum (West African and Palo Alto strains). Immunofluorescence titres were higher than indirect haemagglutination titres in the primary phase of the infections. Both serological tests were consistently positive later in the infections. Precipitins were often not detectable even during episodes of parasitaemia.

Nephrotic syndrome in monkey infected with human quartan malaria.

A splenectomized aotus monkey infected with human quartan malaria (Plasmodium malariae) developed oedema and proteinuria. Histological examination revealed a generalized diffuse glomerulonephritis and immunofluorescent staining showed granular deposits of IgM in the glomeruli. The pathological picture resembled that shown by human patients with the quartan malaria nephrotic syndrome.

Hypersensitivity to some nematode antigens.

Immediate and delayed skin reactions to antigens derived from Ascaris suum, Necator americanus, and Toxocara canis are described in three subjects and related to eosinophil counts and serum IgE levels. One, who had laboratory contact with ascarides but no known infection, gave positive immediate reactions to all three antigens. Another, following repeated experimental infection with necator, gave positive immediate reactions to all three antigens and a delayed reaction to necator alone. The third, following a single recent infection with necator, gave no immediate or delayed reaction.
