| [the first monkey malaria in turkey: a case of plasmodium knowlesi]. | plasmodium knowlesi is now added to the known four plasmodium species (p.vivax, p.falciparum, p.malariae, p.ovale) as a cause of malaria in humans because of the recent increasing rate of cases reported from countries of southeastern asia. p.knowlesi which infects macaque monkeys (macaca fascicularis and m.nemestrina) is transmitted to humans especially by anopheles leucosphyrus and an.hackeri mosquitos. first human cases of p.knowlesi malaria have been detected in malaysia which have reached hi ... | 2016 | 27525405 |
| factors that are associated with the risk of acquiring plasmodium knowlesi malaria in sabah, malaysia: a case-control study protocol. | plasmodium knowlesi has long been present in malaysia, and is now an emerging cause of zoonotic human malaria. cases have been confirmed throughout south-east asia where the ranges of its natural macaque hosts and anopheles leucosphyrus group vectors overlap. the majority of cases are from eastern malaysia, with increasing total public health notifications despite a concurrent reduction in plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax malaria. the public health implications are concerning given p. knowlesi ... | 2014 | 25149186 |
| humans frequently exposed to a range of non-human primate malaria parasite species through the bites of anopheles dirus mosquitoes in south-central vietnam. | recent studies have described natural human infections of the non-human primate parasites plasmodium knowlesi and plasmodium cynomolgi. in southeast asia, mosquitoes of the anopheles leucosphyrus group bite both humans and monkeys in the forest and thus offer a possible route for plasmodium species to bridge the species barrier. in this study we analysed the species composition of malarial sporozoites infecting the salivary glands of anopheles dirus in order to determine their potential role as ... | 2015 | 26178324 |
| Plasmodium knowlesi: A Malaria Parasite of Monkeys and Humans (*). | Plasmodium knowlesi is a malaria parasite of monkeys of Southeast Asia that is transmitted by mosquitoes of the Anopheles leucosphyrus group. Humans are frequently infected with this parasite and misdiagnosed as being infected with Plasmodium malariae. The parasite was a major monkey animal model for developing antimalarial vaccines and investigations of the biology of parasite invasion. P. knowlesi is the first monkey malaria parasite genome to be sequenced and annotated. | 2012 | 22149265 |
| plasmodium knowlesi: from malaysia, a novel health care threat. | epidemic foci of plasmodium knowlesi malaria have been identified during the past ten years in malaysia, in particular in the states of sarawak and sabah (malaysia borneo), and in the pahang region (peninsular malaysia). based on a review of the available recent international literature, the authors underline the importance of molecular biology examinations, polymerase chain reactions (pcr), performed with primers specific for p. knowlesi, since the current microscopic examination (haemoscope) m ... | 2012 | 22475654 |
