Preservation of Infective Stages of Rodent Malaria.
Abstract
During the course of these experiments designed to determine the optimal cooling rate for Plasmodium berghei sporozoites, three basic observations were made: (1) The optimal cooling rate for sporozoites in whole mouse serum was in excess of 30 C/min; but was less than 100 C/min; (2) Because of these cooling rate requirements, a special apparatus would have to be built, capable of obtaining rates between 30 and 100 C/min; and (3) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), is not the preservative of choice; therefore, a survey of other preservatives must be made to evaluate them as cryopreservatives for sporozoites of Plasmodium berghei.
