Research Abstract |
The liver stage culture condition has been improved by using rodent malaria parasites, Plasmodium berghei. Then, to detect the P. vivax liver stage parasite development, several antibodies against liver stage antigens were prepared. P. vivax sporozoites were collected from mosquitoes fed on patients blood in Thailand, then incubated with hepatocytes for 1 week. Liver stage parasites development could be detected by IFA using several antibodies.
