Strong Cross‐Reactivity of Anti–Plasmodium falciparum pLDH Monoclonal Antibodies With Plasmodium malariae pLDH in the Abbott Bioline Malaria Ag P.f/P.f/P.v Rapid Diagnostic Test

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to describe the cross‐reactivity of the Abbott Bioline Malaria Ag P.f/P.f/P.v rapid diagnostic test, designed to detect Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, with other Plasmodium species, based on the detection of parasite lactate dehydrogenase enzymes.

Plasmodium malariae in Haitian Refugees, Jamaica

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Since 1963, reported malaria transmission in Haiti has been restricted to Plasmodium falciparum. However, screening of Haitian refugees in Jamaica in 2004, by microscopic examination, identified P. falciparum, P. vivax, and P. malariae. PCR confirmed the

Parasitic Infections and Associated Cognitive Outcome Among School‐Aged Children in Africa: A Systematic Review

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis, soil‐transmitted helminths, and malaria can impair nutrient absorption, oxygen supply, and brain function, leading to memory deficits, attention deficits, reduced intelligence quotient, weak academic performance, and motor or executive deficits.

Spatial cluster analysis of Plasmodium vivax and P. malariae exposure using serological data among Haitian school children sampled between 2014 and 2016.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
BackgroundEstimation of malaria prevalence in very low transmission settings is difficult by even the most advanced diagnostic tests. Antibodies against malaria antigens provide an indicator of active or past exposure to these parasites.

Plasmodium Parasitemia and Its Relationship With Hematological, Liver, and Kidney Function of Patients With Falciparum Malaria in the Eastern Region, Ghana

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, including Ghana. Children and adults present with varying clinical and biochemical pictures in response to Plasmodium infection. Thus, the study aimed to explore the relationship between Plasmodium parasitemia and hematological, liver, and kidney function ...

Limitations of microscopy to differentiate Plasmodium species in a region co-endemic for Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundIn areas co-endemic for multiple Plasmodium species, correct diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment and surveillance. Species misidentification by microscopy has been reported in areas co-endemic for vivax and falciparum malaria, and ...

Genomic Insights Into Host Shifts Between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in Latin America

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax, but the closely related monkey parasite Plasmodium simium has recently been observed in humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By screening 719 monkey samples from five Latin America countries, we identified 23 Plasmodium‐positives.

Submicroscopic placental infection by non-falciparum Plasmodium spp.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BackgroundAmong the Plasmodium species that infect humans, adverse effects of P. falciparum and P. vivax have been extensively studied and reported with respect to poor outcomes particularly in first time mothers and in pregnant women living in areas ...

A TaqMan real-time PCR assay for the detection and quantitation of Plasmodium knowlesi

Malaria Journal, 2010
Background The misdiagnosis of Plasmodium knowlesi by microscopy has prompted a re-evaluation of the geographic distribution, prevalence and pathogenesis of this species using molecular diagnostic tools. In this report, a specific probe for P.

Small Molecule Kinase Inhibitors with In Vitro β‐Hematin Formation and Plasmodium falciparum Protein Kinase G Inhibitory Activity Identified Using Machine Learning

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 3, 12 February 2026.
A random forest machine learning model was used in combination with molecular docking to predict activity of small molecule kinase inhibitors against two crucial antimalarial targets, namely hemozoin crystallization and Plasmodium falciparum protein kinase G. Derazantinib shows most promise as a dual inhibitor.
