Malarial Parasites and Methylene Blue

On the Use of Methylene Blue in Malarial Fevers

was given every two hours, with a maximum number of five during the day. We found, as a rule, that after the temperature had fallen to normal, the amount given could be decreased daily and finally discontinued about the fourth day : also that it was seldom necessary to administer the maximum amount for more than three days. Our experiments with methylene blue have all been made in Baluchistan w...

Malarial Fevers and Malarial Parasites

Studies on Malarial Parasites

1. Methods have been described for the preparation and sterilization of a synthetic nutrient medium which supports normal growth during one 24 hour asexual cycle of the erythrocytic form of P. knowlesi. 2. Successive subcultures with good multiplication can be carried out when whole blood or plasma is added to the medium. Data are presented from two such experiments where the sixth and seventh ...

Free Malarial Parasites and the Effect of the Migration of the Parasites of Tertian Malarial Infections

1. The malarial parasite is extracellular throughout its life cycle and migrates from red corpuscle to red corpuscle destroying each before it abandons it; in the brief intervals between, the parasite is free in the blood serum; it does not remain long free, but almost immediately attaches itself to another red corpuscle by means of delicate pseudopodia. 2. The compact form of the tertian paras...
