This strain has the unique property of being selected for a hyper-reactive immune reaction to infection with Plasmodium cynomolgi B. When infected, >95% of oocysts will be encapsulated within the midgut when compared to 4ARR (MRA-121). This stock is also fixed for the TEP1 allele which may confer resistance to P. berghei infection
