Abstract
Several methods are described for the cultivation of Plasmodium falciparum. They include cultivation in (a) flow vessels that contain 12 ml of RBC suspension and are harvested three times a week, (b) a ”tipper” that provides a similar yield, and (c) more recently, a large flat-bottomed vessel that holds 75 ml of suspension. Attempts are being made to develop techniques for synchronizing the cultures.
