Investigation on possible transmission of monkeys' Plasmodium to human in a populations living in the equatorial rainforest of the Democratic republic of Congo

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2016
Plasmodiums are protozoa that may infect various hosts. Only five species are now recognized as naturally parasitizing humans: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium knowlesi.

Malaria Screening and Treatment in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Donors and Sickle Cell Disease Candidates/Recipients: A Case Series Using Malaria Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing and a Literature Review

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Malaria polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is more sensitive than conventional diagnostics. Routine PCR screening of at‐risk asymptomatic hematopoietic cell donors and transplant candidates may prevent unnecessary deferrals or treatment. In our experience, PCR negativity during screening or after treatment supports donor/candidate eligibility ...

Persistent transmission of Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale species in an area of declining Plasmodium falciparum transmission in eastern Tanzania.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
A reduction in the global burden of malaria over the past two decades has encouraged efforts for regional malaria elimination. Despite the need to target all Plasmodium species, current focus is mainly directed towards Plasmodium falciparum, and to a ...

Molecular Markers of Antimalarial Drug Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum From Kumasi, Ghana, 2023

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 43-48, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Artemisinin partial resistance has emerged in East Africa and is feared to spread across the continent, potentially compromising artemisinin‐based combination treatment. Molecular markers can serve as early warning signals for the development of specific drug resistance.

Genetic polymorphisms in the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium malariae show a geographical bias

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Plasmodium malariae is characterized by its long asymptomatic persistence in the human host. The epidemiology of P. malariae is incompletely understood and is hampered by the limited knowledge of genetic polymorphisms.
