| Title | Naturally acquired Plasmodium knowlesi malaria in human, Thailand. |
| Journal | Emerg Infect Dis |
| Abstract |
We describe a case of naturally acquired infection with Plasmodium knowlesi in Thailand. Diagnosis was confirmed by the small subunit ribosomal RNA and the mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences. The occurrence of simian malaria in human has signified the roles of wild primate populations in disease transmission in some malaria-endemic areas. |
