Chimpanzee Malaria Parasites Related to Plasmodium ovale in Africa
Since the 1970's, the diversity of Plasmodium parasites in African great apes has been neglected. Surprisingly, P. reichenowi, a chimpanzee parasite, is the only such parasite to have been molecularly characterized. This parasite is closely phylogenetically related to P. falciparum, the principal cause of the greatest malaria burden in humans. Studies of malaria parasites from anthropoid primat...
متن کاملA Case of Imported Plasmodium malariae Malaria
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. ovale are responsible for a relatively small proportion of malaria cases. Here, ...
متن کاملA Case of Plasmodium ovale Malaria Imported from West Africa
Malaria is a parasitic infection caused by Plasmodium species. Most of the imported malaria in Korea are due to Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum, and Plasmodium ovale infections are very rare. Here, we report a case of a 24-year-old American woman who acquired P. ovale while staying in Ghana, West Africa for 5 months in 2010. The patient was diagnosed with P. ovale malaria based on a ...
متن کاملPlasmodium malariae Malaria: From Monkey to Man?
Parasites are engaged in an eternal arms race with their hosts, with to man (Lalremruata et al., 2015). Surveying remote indigenous comboth sides continually reacting and adapting to try to either maintain or eliminate infection. One outcome of this coevolutionary struggle can be host species-specificity, where continued cycles of adaptation essentially isolate a parasite within a given host, p...
متن کاملPlasmodium ovale Malaria Acquired in Central Spain
We describe a case of locally acquired Plasmodium ovale malaria in Spain. The patient was a Spanish woman who had never traveled out of Spain and had no other risk factors for malaria. Because patients with malaria may never have visited endemic areas, occasional transmission of malaria to European hosts is a diagnostic and clinical challenge.
