In ongoing studies on experimental transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in the city of Yaounde gametocyte carriers are daily being identified among dispensary patients with malaria-like complaints. This species comprises 93% of all parasitemias and because of the selection criteria most patients have it as a recent infection. 17% of all P. falciparum-positives carry detectable gametocytes with little difference between youngsters and adults. Blood of adult carriers is taken and infection of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes is attempted by membrane feeding; the establishment of infection is judged by the presence of oocysts.
在雅温得市正在进行的关于恶性疟原虫实验性传播的研究中，每天都能在有疟疾样症状的药房患者中识别出配子体携带者。该物种占所有疟原虫血症的93%，由于选择标准，大多数患者将其作为近期感染。所有恶性疟原虫阳性患者中有17%携带可检测到的配子体，青少年和成年人之间差异不大。采集成年携带者的血液，尝试通过膜饲法感染冈比亚按蚊；通过卵囊的存在来判断感染是否确立。
