Mixed-species malaria infections are often not recognized or underestimated. In Asia,
surveys usually report that< 2% of infections are mixed, whereas therapeutic studies in vivax …

It is rare to find human populations exposed to a single malaria parasite species–in most
endemic areas, at least three Plasmodium species co-exist. Here, we briefly review mixed …

Background In patients with malaria mixed species infections are common and under
reported. In PCR studies conducted in Asia mixed infection rates often exceed 20%. In South …

We analyzed point-prevalence data from 35 recent studies of human populations in which
Plasmodium falciparum and one other Plasmodium species were the reported causes of …

Four Plasmodium species cause malaria in humans. Most malaria-endemic regions feature
mixed infections involving two or more of these species. Factors contributing to …

Malaria parasites are major human pathogens annually associated with 300 million to 500
million clinical cases worldwide and 0.5 million to 3 million deaths, mostly among children …

We analyzed point-prevalence data from 19 recent studies of human populations in which
either Plasmodium ovale or Plasmodium vivax co-occur with Plasmodium falciparum and …

Accurate diagnosis is the key to effective treatment and control of malaria. We screened 180
microscopically diagnosed Indian malaria‐positive blood samples for pure and mixed …

To determine the frequency of co-infections with Plasmodium species in southern Myanmar,
we investigated the prevalence of P. knowlesi. More than 20% of patients with malaria had …

Abstract (See editorial commentary by Baird, on pages 621–623.) Background. Plasmodium
