Plasmodium malariae contributes to high levels of malaria transmission in a forest–savannah transition area in Cameroon [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Malaria control efforts are highly skewed towards Plasmodium falciparum while overlooking other Plasmodium species such as P. malariae. A better understanding of the role of Plasmodium species other than P.

A Case of Plasmodium malariae in Bangladesh: A Representation of the Suboptimal Performance of Rapid Diagnostic Approaches in Malaria Elimination Settings [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Plasmodium malariae is a neglected human malaria parasite with low parasitemia that often results in the misdiagnosis and underestimation of the actual disease burden of this pathogen.

Severe long-delayed malaria caused by Plasmodium malariae in an elderly French patient [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Plasmodium malariae is the cause of the rare but severe form of malaria that sometimes affects individuals travelling to malaria-endemic regions. This report presents the unique case of a patient exhibiting severe malaria symptoms caused by P.

Quantification of the misidentification of Plasmodium knowlesi as Plasmodium malariae by microscopy: an analysis of 1569 P. knowlesi cases [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Plasmodium knowlesi is recognized as the fifth Plasmodium species causing malaria in humans. It is morphologically similar to the human malaria parasite Plasmodium malariae, so molecular detection should be used to clearly discriminate between

Poor performance of malaria rapid diagnostic tests for the detection of Plasmodium malariae among returned international travellers in China [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Malaria is a worldwide infectious disease. For countries that have achieved malaria elimination, the prevention of re-establishment due to infections in returned travellers has become important.

Characteristics of imported Plasmodium ovale spp. and Plasmodium malariae in Hubei Province, China, 2014–2018 [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background There have been an increasing number of imported cases of malaria in Hubei Province in recent years. In particular, the number of cases of Plasmodium ovale spp. and Plasmodium malariae significantly increased, which resulted in increased risks

Differential ex vivo susceptibility of Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates from Ghana and Mali to current and lead discovery candidate antimalarial drugs [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Non-falciparum species causing malaria in humans are considered neglected in the fight toward malaria elimination. Recent data highlight the increasing contribution of Plasmodium malariae to malaria morbidity and mortality.

A case of Plasmodium malariae recurrence: recrudescence or reinfection? [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Plasmodium malariae is the most neglected of the six human malaria species and it is still unknown which is the mechanism underlying the long latency of this Plasmodium. Case presentation A case of PCR-confirmed P.

Plasmodium malariae in Bangladesh

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010
We describe a 32-year-old Bangladeshi male presenting with severe malaria caused by a mono-infection with Plasmodium malariae. Rosetting of infected and uninfected erythrocytes, a putative virulence factor in falciparum malaria, was observed in the blood slide. Severe disease caused by P. malariae is extremely rare.

First report of a Plasmodium malariae SSU rRNA gene variant in Africa associated with reduced amplification by nested PCR [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the small subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid (SSU rRNA, 18S rRNA) region is widely used to differentiate Plasmodium species. We identified a variant of the Plasmodium malariae SSU rRNA gene that
