Species and genotype diversity of Plasmodium in malaria patients from Gabon analysed by next generation sequencing [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2017 Background Six Plasmodium species are known to naturally infect humans. Mixed species infections occur regularly but morphological discrimination by microscopy is difficult and multiplicity of infection (MOI) can only be evaluated by molecular methods ...

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.

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.

Cessation of mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis in Zanzibar in 2006: was transmission interrupted? [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is targeted for elimination through annual mass drug administration (MDA) for 4-6 years. In 2006, Zanzibar stopped MDA against LF after five rounds of MDA revealed no microfilaraemic individuals during surveys at ...

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.

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.
