Journal ArticleDOI
Knowlesi malaria: newly emergent and of public health importance?
Janet Cox-Singh,Balbir Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Information on knowlesi malaria should be included in medical and public health guidelines to encourage the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients, and monitor the incidence and distribution of cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severe malaria - a case of fatal Plasmodium knowlesi infection with post-mortem findings: a case report
Janet Cox-Singh,Janet Cox-Singh,Jessie Hiu,Sebastian Lucas,Paul C. S. Divis,Mohammad Zulkarnaen,Patricia Ann Chandran,Kum Thong Wong,Patricia Adem,Sherif R. Zaki,Balbir Singh,Sanjeev Krishna,Sanjeev Krishna +12 more
TL;DR: The overall picture in this case was one of systemic malaria infection that fit the WHO classification for severe malaria, including cerebral pathology, which suggests that further study of knowlesi malaria will aid the interpretation of, often conflicting, information on malaria pathophysiology in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological features and differential counts of Plasmodium knowlesi parasites in naturally acquired human infections.
TL;DR: Blood films made prior to administration of anti-malarial treatment in patients who were subsequently confirmed as having single species knowlesi infections by PCR assays revealed that some minor morphological differences existed between P. knowlesi and P. malariae, but infections in humans are not highly synchronous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of malaria in Malaysia by nested polymerase chain reaction amplification of dried blood spots on filter papers
Balbir Singh,Janet Cox-Singh,Andy O. Miller,Mohammad Shukri Abdullah,Georges Snounou,Hasan A. Rahman +5 more
TL;DR: The nested PCR method, when coupled with simple dried blood spot sampling, is a useful tool for collecting accurate malaria epidemiological data, particularly in remote regions of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium knowlesi from archival blood films: further evidence that human infections are widely distributed and not newly emergent in Malaysian Borneo.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that P. knowlesi malaria is not a newly emergent disease in humans, and its past occurrence in the state of Sarawak is confirmed.
