THE EFFECT OF COLD UPON MALARIA PARASITES IN THE MOSQUITO HOST

The experiments reported here have shown that the parasite of tertian malaria in the mosquito host is able to survive exposure to a temperature of 30° F. for a period of 2 days, 31° F. for 4 days, and a mean temperature of 46° F. for 17 days. In a smaller series of tests the sporonts of the estivo-a...

description The experiments reported here have shown that the parasite of tertian malaria in the mosquito host is able to survive exposure to a temperature of 30° F. for a period of 2 days, 31° F. for 4 days, and a mean temperature of 46° F. for 17 days. In a smaller series of tests the sporonts of the estivo-autumnal parasite have shown a resistance to temperatures as low as 35° F. for 24 hours.
