A research article published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases discusses the prevalence of Plasmodium ovale spp and Plasmodium malariae infections in mainland Tanzania and an area of low malaria endemicity in Uganda. The study found that parasite densities were lower in the Ugandan setting due to intensive malaria control measures. The research also highlighted the presence of multispecies infections, with many P ovale and P malariae infections occurring alongside P falciparum. The authors emphasize the need to better understand the clinical burden of non-P falciparum malaria as the epidemiology of malaria changes. [Extracted from the article]
