AB - STUDIES ON BENIGN TERTIAN MALARIA. I. ON THE OCCURRENCE OF ACQUIRED TOLERANCE TO PLASMODIUM VIVAX* B Y MARK P. BOYD AND WARREN K. STRATMAN-THOMAS. (Received for publication August 3, 1932.) Random observations made in many climes have led clinicians and epidemiologists to believe that persons infected with the malaria plasmodia develop an immunity to the presence of these parasites. It is the purpose of this paper to present data which validate and cor- roborate these early observations. The data were secured in con- nection with the treatment of cases of paresis and neuro-syphilis by means of induced malaria, inoculated in a natural manner by the bites of anopheline mosquitoes. This work was made possible through a cooperative arrangement between the Florida State Hospital and the Station for Malaria Research. During 1931 the station had available three strains of Plasmodium vivax secured in the late spring from persons living in widely sepa- rated localities within a twenty-five mile radius of Tallahassee. With very few exceptions, all inoculations with these strains were effected by means of infected anopheline mosquitoes, thus fully reproducing the circumstances of a naturally acquired infection. The infection schedules of patients for whom malaria therapy was prescribed were
