A Liberian strain of P., ovale was transmitted to a human volunteer, and details of the blood and mosquito cycle were determined. A peculiar schizont stage appeared during relapse periods, having double (12-16) the normal number of merozoites. Anopheles maculipennis was successfully infected with the strain and proved able to transmit it to man. A liver biopsy 9 days later showed schizonts of the 5th and 9th day stages. Details of these stages are presented. It seems clear that P. ovale is a distinct species with a 9-day cycle, and not a cross between P. vivax and P. malariae. as suggested by some workers. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: A. C. Walton
