Study design. Rhesus macaques underwent baseline blood tests for C-reactive protein (CRP) and complete blood count (CBC). At day 0, animals were administered a high dose of PfSPZ or PkSPZ by direct venous inoculation. At day 5, blood was drawn, and animals were humanely euthanized to collect the entire liver. Blood and liver samples were then processed to quantify parasite burden using the ultra-sensitive 18S rRNA RT-PCR biomarker assay
