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.

Transfusion-Transmitted Malaria of Plasmodium malariae in Palermo, Sicily. [PDF]
Healthcare (Basel), 2021 Transfusion-transmitted malaria (TTM) is a rare occurrence with serious consequences for the recipient. In non-endemic areas, the incidence of transmission of malaria by transfusion is very low. We report a clinical case of transfusion-transmitted malaria due to Plasmodium malariae, which happened in a patient with acute hemorrhagic gastropathy.

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.

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

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 SpectrumNon-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.

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.
