A microaerophilic atmosphere generation system which is commercially available for the isolation and growth ofCampylobacterwas evaluated for the cultivationin vitroof the asexual blood-stage ofPlasmodium falciparum. Cultures ofP. falciparumstrain 3D7 were incubated at 37°C in microtitre plates inside either a 3.5 litre airtight gas jar, or a sealed modular incubator chamber. A CampyGen gas sachet was placed in each vessel immediately before sealing. Parasite maturation was assessed by light microscopy at regular intervals over a 144 h incubation period; parasite proliferation was assessed by determining the incorporation of [3H]hypoxanthine. The conditions generated by the microaerophilic atmosphere generation system compared favourably with the commonly used gas mixtures for supportingP. falciparumgrowthin vitro. Proliferation and total parasitaemias were less than those attained in 5% O2, 5% CO2and 90% N2, but more than in 1% O2, 3% CO2and 96% N2. It is concluded that the use of microbiological gas sachets is suitable for the growth of blood-stage malaria parasites.
