TitleUnpublished paper, 'On the demonstration by staining of the pathogenic fungus of malaria, its artificial cultivation, and the results of inoculation of the same' by J Fenton Evans
CreatorEvans; J Fenton (fl 1891)
Date1891
DescriptionEvans writes of his goal to 'obtain permanently stained preparations of the Malarial organism'. Having achieved this, he outlines in this paper how these preparations have been used to 'enquire into the properties of the concomitant organism' using artificial cultivations outside the body. He presents his methods for staining the fungus in the blood and tissues and for artificial cultivation of the fungus, and presents a description of the morphology of the organism as demonstrated by the staining methods and as grown in artificial cultures. He concludes with the results of inoculation of the fungus into animals.

Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Includes 15 plates of figures.
