Abstract
Chloroquin sulfate, pyrimethamine, camoquin and azacrin all proved good schizonticides on 120 children with natural Plasmodium falciparum infections, though none showed direct gametocidal action. Upon smaller numbers of P. malariae infections chloroquin sulphate and camoquin appeared more effective than pyrimethamine or azacrin.Keywords
