Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AJ clone (95AJ15)
Type:
Rodent malaria line
Description:
Rodent malaria line P.c.chabaudi 95AJ15. Genome sequence available
Subclone of:
Isolate AJ
History:
95AJ15 cloned line of the 166BY isolate from a wild caught Thamnomys rutilans captured near Bangul (Central African Republic (CAR). Arrived Paris 15/3/69 and four days later at Edinburgh. Passaged four times in G. surdaster, transmitted three times in An stephensi, passaged 8x in mice. Cloning 14.5.73 (D. Walliker); 96AJ15 (frozen stabilate 1.6.73). Revived for DNA preparation and sequencing (Otto et al, 2014). Available as stabilates after infection under SPF conditions.
Blood isolates of naturally-infected Thicket Rats captured in the CAR in 1965 (Landau & Chabaud).
