Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale genomes provide insights into malaria parasite evolution [PDF]
Elucidation of the evolutionary history and interrelatedness of Plasmodium species that infect humans has been hampered by a lack of genetic information for three human-infective species: P. malariae and two P. ovale species (P. o. curtisi and P.

Household costs associated with zoonotic Plasmodium knowlesi, P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae infections in Sabah, Malaysia. [PDF]
Background Malaysia has free universal access to malaria care; however, out-of-pocket costs are unknown. This study estimated and compared household costs of illness during a unique time when four species of malaria were present, due to the emergence of ...

Detection of P. malariae using a new rapid isothermal amplification lateral flow assay. [PDF]
Background While Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause the majority of malaria cases and deaths, infection by Plasmodium malariae and other Plasmodium species also causes morbidity and mortality.

Leveraging genomic insights from the neglected malaria parasites P. malariae and P. ovale using selective whole genome amplification (SWGA) approach [PDF]
Background Systematic genomics-guided population-based studies on the neglected malaria parasites, P. malariae, P. ovale curtisi, and P. ovale wallikeri species remain challenging due to their low parasitemia, underestimation, and lack of comprehensive ...

Genetic polymorphism and natural selection of apical membrane antigen-1 in Plasmodium malariae isolated from Vietnam [PDF]
Background Plasmodium malariae, a causative agent of human quartan malaria, has been largely overlooked due to its mild clinical manifestations and low prevalence.

Increasing incidence of Plasmodium knowlesi malaria following control of P. falciparum and P. vivax Malaria in Sabah, Malaysia. [PDF]
BackgroundThe simian parasite Plasmodium knowlesi is a common cause of human malaria in Malaysian Borneo and threatens the prospect of malaria elimination. However, little is known about the emergence of P. knowlesi, particularly in Sabah.

Extreme parasitemia in P falciparum malaria [PDF]
![Figure][1] A 27-year-old man developed high fever after returning from sub-Saharan Africa. Trying to overcome this febrile illness during his annual leave (winter season), he had medical home visits, but the fever was repeatedly misdiagnosed as a flulike illness and treated with ...
