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

Zoonotic origin of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium malariae from African apes [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
Plasmodium malariae is a cause of malaria in humans and related species have been identified in non-human primates. Here, the authors use genomic analyses to establish that human P.

Genetic analysis of the orthologous crt and mdr1 genes in Plasmodium malariae from Thailand and Myanmar [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Plasmodium malariae is a widely spread but neglected human malaria parasite, which causes chronic infections. Studies on genetic polymorphisms of anti-malarial drug target genes in P. malariae are limited.

Molecular epidemiology of non-falciparum Plasmodium infections in three different areas of the Ivory Coast

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Malaria is a major public health problem, particularly in the tropical regions of America, Africa and Asia. Plasmodium falciparum is not only the most widespread but also the most deadly species.

Complexity of malaria transmission dynamics in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium vivax are protozoan parasites that can cause malaria in humans. They are genetically indistinguishable from, respectively, Plasmodium brasilianum and Plasmodium simium, i.e.

Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale – the ‘bashful’ malaria parasites [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Although Plasmodium malariae was first described as an infectious disease of humans by Golgi in 1886 and Plasmodium ovale identified by Stevens in 1922, there are still large gaps in our knowledge of the importance of these infections as causes of malaria in different parts of the world.

Nationwide molecular surveillance of three Plasmodium species harboured by symptomatic malaria patients living in Ghana

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Clinical presentations of malaria in Ghana are primarily caused by infections containing microscopic densities of Plasmodium falciparum, with a minor contribution from Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale.

A Case of Imported Plasmodium malariae Malaria [PDF]

Annals of Laboratory Medicine, 2012
Malaria, the most common vector-borne parasite infection worldwide, results from infection by Plasmodium species. Approximately 80% of malaria cases are caused by P. vivax, which is broadly distributed from tropical to temperate regions; P. falciparum is the second most common infectious species. P. malariae and P.

The anaemia of Plasmodium vivax malaria [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2012
Plasmodium vivax threatens nearly half the world's population and is a significant impediment to achievement of the millennium development goals. It is an important, but incompletely understood, cause of anaemia. This review synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment and consequences of vivax-associated anaemia.
