Plasmodium falciparum strains from Papua New Guinea: culture characteristics and drug sensitivity. The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 1980 Dec; 11(4): 435-40http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/31360The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health.Seven strains of Plasmodium falciparum from Papua New Guinea have been established in continuous in vitro culture. Samples with a high initial parasitaemia were more likely to form continuous lines, possibly due to the time required for transport of infected blood samples from Papua New Guinea to laboratories in Australia. Most but not all established lines were resistant to chloroquine and all were resistant to pyrimethamine, possibly reflecting the parasite strain characteristics in that region.engAdolescentAdultAnimalsChild, PreschoolChloroquine --therapeutic useHumansMalaria --parasitologyNew GuineaPlasmodium falciparum --drug effectsPyrimethamine --therapeutic useJournal Article
