Modern interest in the serodiagnosis of malaria received its chief interest from the studies of Cogeshall and Eaton (1938) and Eaton and Gogeswall (1939), who demonstrated the appearance of complement-fixing antibodies in the serum of experimentally-infected simian and human subjects. Subsequent investigators dealing with human infection have corroborated and amplified these observations in experiments which have employed a wide variety of antigens and test procedures. Their contributions have been summarized in test reports (Lippincourt et al, 1945; Meyer and Heidelberger, 1946) on the serodiagnosis of malaria.
