Rodent Malaria Models

  • Chapter
Antimalarial Drugs I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 68))

Abstract

The first isolation of rodent malaria was reported by Vincke and Lips (1948). This isolate, obtained from the tree rat Thamnomys surdaster, was discovered at Keyberg in the former Belgian Congo and named Plasmodium berghei.
