Abstract
An extract of red blood cells was prepared from monkey blood. Red cell extract (RCE) of Aotus monkeys was beneficial for the in-vitro cultivation of 2 strains of P. falciparum. The active material(s) in Aotus RCE was not sedimented by centrifugation at 34,800 g for 1 hr. Rhesus monkey RCE improved the growth of P. knowlesi for in-vitro cultivation through 4 schizogonous cycles (88 hr).
