Journal ArticleDOI

Balbir Singh,Lee Kim Sung,Asmad Matusop,Anand Radhakrishnan,Sunita S. G. Shamsul,Janet Cox-Singh,Alan W. Thomas,David J. Conway +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the small subunit ribosomal RNA and the circumsporozoite protein genes were sequenced for eight isolates that had been microscopically identified as P knowlesi by microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium knowlesi Malaria in Humans Is Widely Distributed and Potentially Life Threatening
Janet Cox-Singh,Timothy M. E. Davis,Kim-Sung Lee,Sunita S. G. Shamsul,Asmad Matusop,Shanmuga Ratnam,Hasan A. Rahman,David J. Conway,Balbir Singh +8 more
TL;DR: In the absence of a specific routine diagnostic test for P. knowlesi malaria, patients who reside in or have traveled to Southeast Asia and who have received a "P. malariae" hyperparasitemia diagnosis by microscopy receive intensive management as appropriate for severe falciparum malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genus- and species-specific nested polymerase chain reaction malaria detection assay for epidemiologic studies.
Balbir Singh,Albino Bobogare,Janet Cox-Singh,Georges Snounou,Mohammad Shukri Abdullah,Hasan A. Rahman +5 more
TL;DR: The nested PCR assay described is a sensitive technique for collecting accurate malaria epidemiologic data when coupled with simple blood spot sampling, it is particularly useful for screening communities in remote regions of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Infections and Detection of Plasmodium knowlesi
Balbir Singh,Cyrus Daneshvar +1 more
TL;DR: The molecular, entomological, and epidemiological data indicate that human infections with P. knowlesi are not newly emergent and that knowlesi malaria is primarily a zoonosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and laboratory features of human Plasmodium knowlesi infection.
Cyrus Daneshvar,Timothy M. E. Davis,Janet Cox-Singh,Mohammad Zakri Rafa'ee,Siti Khatijah Zakaria,Paul C. S. Divis,Balbir Singh +6 more
TL;DR: Clinical and laboratory data were collected from previously untreated, nonpregnant adults admitted to the hospital with polymerase chain reaction-confirmed acute malaria at Kapit Hospital (Sarawak, Malaysia) from July 2006 through February 2008 to study the presentation and course of patients with acute P. knowlesi infection.
