DOI: 10.1007/s00436-021-07398-z
Abstract: Among the Plasmodium species that infect humans, P. falciparum has been largely studied in malaria endemic areas. However, P. malariae infection is less documented among the human population. This study aimed to monitor the prevalence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.parint.2021.102519
Abstract: Information about Plasmodium malariae is scanty worldwide due to its "benign" nature and low infection rates. Consequently, studies on the genetic polymorphisms of P. malariae are lacking. Here, we report genetic polymorphisms of 28 P.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/trstmh/trac098
Abstract: BACKGROUND False positive results on fourth-generation human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnostic tests have previously been reported in infections with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovale but not with Plasmodium malariae. METHODS We report a false positive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-018-2413-3
Abstract: BackgroundPlasmodium 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. Previous reports from Africa… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-019-2927-3
Abstract: BackgroundMalaria remains a very important public health problem in Ethiopia. Currently, only Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are considered in the malaria diagnostic and treatment policies. However, the existence and prevalence of Plasmodium ovale spp.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010049
Abstract: BACKGROUND Estimation 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. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2304.161245
Abstract: In Africa, control programs that target primarily Plasmodium falciparum are inadequate for eliminating malaria. To learn more about prevalence and genetic variability of P. malariae in Africa, we examined blood samples from 663 asymptomatic and… read more here.
