The New Zoonotic Malaria: Plasmodium cynomolgi. Trop Med Infect Dis. 2021 Apr 5;6(2):46. doi: 10.3390/tropicalmed6020046. PMID: 33916448; PMCID: PMC8167800. | Journal: | Tropical medicine and infectious disease | Abstract: | Plasmodium cynomolgi is a simian malaria parasite that has been a central model parasite since it was first described in 1907. Recently it has made the zoonotic jump and started naturally infecting humans. In this paper, the interactions between Plasmodium cynomolgi and humans, the environment and the non-human animal intermediates or definitive host will be discussed, with a particular focus on the clinical implications of infection and approaches to management of this novel zoonotic parasite. | Description: | Cairns & Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) affiliated author: Alexander Bykersma | DOI: | 10.3390/tropicalmed6020046 | Keywords: | Plasmodium cynomolgi;malaria: simian malaria;zoonotic infections | Type: | Article |
